Among the various extradition requests and investigations that are pending due to the diplomatic row between India and Canada is the case of Sandeep Singh Sidhu, who is wanted for allegedly promoting terror activities and is said to be working for Canada Border Service Agency (CBSA).

Intelligence sources informed The Tribune that there was no clarity on whether Sidhu is actually working with the CBSA and the same was being verified through diplomatic channels. Agencies are learnt to have made efforts to find out about his antecedents in Canada, but owing to the diplomatic impasse, there has not been much progress.

Sources say the issue of his extradition is on the backburner as of now. Sidhu is also wanted in connection with murder of Shaurya Chakra awardee Balwinder Singh Sandhu, who had fought militancy in Punjab.

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).
