Amritsar, April 15

Dr Gurinder Singh Madaan, a resident of Kabir Park area near Guru Nanak Dev University, lost over Rs 72,000 to online fraudsters here. The incident occurred in March last year while a complaint was registered with the police on Friday following an investigation.

The complainant alleged that he had applied for visa to visit his daughter in UK. He said during the process, he came to know that three persons stole his identity from the bank and fraudulently withdrew Rs 72,895 from his bank account.

During initial probe, it was found that the amount was transferred in the bank accounts of Saiful Hoque of Haryana, Vootla Raj Gopal of Hydrabad in Andhra Pradesh, and Manjit Singh of Barnala.

The Islamabad police have registered a case under Sections 420 and 120-B of the IPC and 66-C and 66-D of the Information Technology Act in this regard.

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).
