New Delhi, July 10

The anti-terror federal probe agency NIA today said it has made the seventh arrest in connection with the killing of tailor Kanhaiya Lal in Udaipur last month. The arrested person has been identified as Farhad Mohammad Sheikh.

A spokesperson of the NIA said that Sheikh, alias Babla, who was arrested on Saturday evening, was a “close criminal associate” of Riaz Akhtari, one of the two main accused in the case, and took active part in the conspiracy to kill the tailor. Kanhaiya Lal was killed with a cleaver in his tailoring shop on June 28.

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).
