The body of Bipin Joshi, a Nepalese student who saved several lives during the Hamas attack in Israel two years ago, had been brought to Tel Aviv and would soon be repatriated for his last rites, the Israel Defence Forces said on Tuesday.

Joshi (23) under Israel's Learn and Earn Programme, was taken into captivity along with others. “It is assessed that he was murdered in captivity during the first months of the war,” IDF 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).
