A Kerala-based swindler transferred Rs 4.50 lakh from the account of Sharanjit Singh, a resident of Cheema Kalan village.

The victim, in his complaint to the cybercrime police station, said that he has fixed a limit of Rs 10 lakh from the Bhura Kona bank branch which he transferred into his savings accounts.

The swindler transferred the amount from his bank account which was noticed by him in his mobile messages. The swindler, who has been identified as Mohammad Sweek N, a resident of Nattigall, Kolapur, Kerala, has been booked under Section 318 (4) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS) and Section 43 of the IT Act.

Inspector Upkar Singh, Station House Officer (SHO), cybercrime police station, said that the cops have initiated steps to arrest the accused from Kerala.

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).
