The Special NIA Court here on Thursday granted bail to one of the seven accused, Mohd Asif Ali (32), in the case of extortion of Punjab businessmen for not having direct link with other accused. Special Judge, NIA, Mohali, Karunesh Kumar, allowing the bail stated that Asif Ali, who had been in custody since July 10, 2021, had been chargesheeted for the commission of offence under Section 120-B of the IPC and Section 25 (1-A) of the Arms Act.

He had not been chargesheeted under the UA (P) Act. Therefore, the bar of Section 43 (D) (5) of the UA (P) Act, 1967, was not attracted. —

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).
