Amritsar, December 25

Two months after a man got an alleged threatening and extortion call, the police have registered a case against an unidentified person.

The case was registered following a probe conducted by an Assistant Commissioner of Police (ACP)-rank official.

Mandeep Singh, in his complaint to the police on October 18, alleged that he got a call on his mobile phone from some virtual/foreign mobile numbers. The complainant stated that

the caller demanded extortion money and threatened him with consequences.

Acting on the complaint, the police have registered a case under Section 387 of the Indian Penal Code (IPC) in this regard.

Further investigations are on in the matter.

This is fifth extortion case registered in the past one month.

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).
