New Delhi, November 5

The National Investigation Agency (NIA) has arrested three more alleged conspirators behind the murder of BJP youth wing leader Praveen Nettaru during searches at multiple locations in Karnataka.

The NIA said searches were carried out at five locations in Dakshina Kannada, Hubli and Mysuru and arrested K Mahammad Iqbal, K Ismail Shafi and Ibrahim Sha.

They were arrested from villages of Dakshina Kannada, it said, adding that digital devices and incriminating documents were seized from their houses.

Nettaru, a resident of Bellare, was killed allegedly by cadres of the banned Popular Front of India (PFI) on July 26.

So far, 10 accused persons have been arrested in connection with the case.

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).
