Nitesh Rana (44) on Saturday resigned as Enforcement Directorate’s Special Public Prosecutor, citing personal reasons. He has represented the agency in several high-profile cases, including those against former Union Finance Minister P Chidambaram, Congress leader DK Shivakumar, RJD chief Lalu Prasad, TMC’s Abhishek Banerjee and Sonia Gandhi’s son-in-law Robert Vadra since 2015.

Rana represented the agency in the Jammu and Kashmir terror funding case against the LeT and the Hizbul Mujahideen and in cases against terrorists Hafiz Saeed and Syed Salahuddin.

He also represented the ED in the Air India “scam”, money laundering cases against Vijay Mallya, Nirav Modi and Mehul Choksi and the Ranbaxy-Religare fraud, Sterling Biotech scam and the West Bengal cattle smuggling case.

Rana figured in Forbes Magazine’s “Legal Powerlist of 2020”.

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).
