The victim, whose husband is abroad, in her complaint stated that her relative Dilbag Singh, a resident of Dubli (Patti), called on the mobile phone number of her 14-year-old son on the night of August 4 from a foreign number introducing himself as a member of infamous gangster Lakhbr Singh Landa of Harike and demanded Rs 20 lakh in extortion.

The accused repeatedly threatened to eliminate her son in case she denied to oblige him.

ASI Baljinder Singh said accused Dilbag Singh, who is still absconding, has been booked under Sections 308 (2), 351(3) and 351(3) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS).

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).
