New Delhi, January 24

A man has been arrested in connection with the last month’s violent protests near Jamia Millia Islamia University against the CAA.

He was produced in a Delhi court that sent him to judicial custody for three days on Friday. Chief Metropolitan Magistrate Gurmohina Kaur sent Furkan, a resident of Jamia, to judicial custody till January 27 after the Delhi police did not seek his custody.

The police said the accused was arrested on the basis of a CCTV footage which showed him carrying a container. Advocate Alamdar Husain Naqvi, the counsel for Furkan, said the container was empty and he was going to fill water in it. On December 15, protests in the area against the CAA turned violent. Four DTC buses, 100 private vehicles and 10 police bikes were damaged. — PTI

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).
