Mumbai, November 19

Gautam Navlakha, an accused in Elgar Parishad-Maoist links case, was released from Taloja prison in Navi Mumbai on Saturday evening and will live under house arrest for a month.

He was immediately taken to a building in Navi Mumbai’s Belapur-Agroli area by a police team where he would be staying.

Navlakha left the prison around 6 pm, said a senior prison official.

On Friday afternoon, the Supreme Court had rejected the NIA’s application opposing his house arrest. It had ordered that Navlakha be placed under house arrest “without fail” within 24 hours.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
