The secret shifting of Pawan Kumar Gupta, one of the Nirbhaya case convicts, from Mandoli jail to Tihar jail and restrictions on the other three convicts have sent shivers down the spine of all four.

“As soon as Pawan reached Tihar, we banned communication between all four. Earlier, the three used to talk among themselves during daytime,” said jail sources.

The jail administration is busy with the preparations to hang them. “The gallows are being repaired by inmates. Activities in the execution chamber and increased security signal something is on the cards,” they said. — IANS

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).
