Mumbai, February 26

With a UK court ruling in favour of Nirav Modi’s extradition, Mumbai’s Arthur Road jail authorities have kept a special cell ready to lodge him.

A jail official said once Nirav was brought to Mumbai, he would be kept in one of the three cells of barrack number 12. “Preparations for lodging Nirav in the jail have been completed and the prison cell is ready for him, whenever he is extradited,” he said.

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).
