Another local resident fell victim to the phishing racket. Shaifali Arora, the victim, stated to police that she got a call on her mobile and the woman on the other side introduced herself as an employee of the SBI bank.

The accused told that her credit card request was approved and to complete the process, she sought her full details. She said as she gave full information, later Rs 2.27 lakh were debited from her credit card. The police have registered a case under Section 420 of the IPC and Section 66-C and 66-D of IT Act against unknown persons in this connection. Further investigations were underway. — TNS

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).
