The Tribune has let go of its editor-in-chief Rajesh Ramachandran, Newslaundry has learned. According to sources, his last day will be May 13. 

Ramachandran, who has been a journalist for about two decades, joined The Tribune as editor in 2018, taking over from Harish Khare. He was previously editor-in-chief at Outlook magazine, where he’d also once worked as a reporter too. At Tribune, he butted heads with the newspaper’s union over several issues.

Newslaundry has reached out to The Tribune’s trust for further clarification. We also contacted Ramachandran for comment. This report will be updated if they respond. 

Update at 10.30 am on June 14: A reference to an anonymous Facebook page has been removed considering a court order.
