Harminder managed the financial records and transactions of commission agent Sukhwant Singh’s business. According to the police, he allegedly siphoned off Rs 1.2 crore over a period of time by secretly transferring the funds to bank accounts linked to his family members.

The alleged fraud came to light after Sukhwant noticed discrepancies in the financial records and ordered an internal audit, which revealed the missing funds. He then approached the police with evidence. Following a preliminary investigation, a formal case was registered against the four accused.

Police said raids are being conducted to arrest the accused, and further investigation is under way.

THE TRIBUNE, India’s oldest, daily English-language newspaper, was first published on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan), and save for 40 days in the immediate aftermath of Partition, has come out every day over the last 145 years. THE TRIBUNE was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist of the time. The newspaper is run by a five-member Trust, which is chaired by Shri N N Vohra, former Governor of J&K State (2008-2018); as well as Justice S S Sodhi, former Chief Justice of the Allahabad High Court; Shri Gurbachan Jagat, former Governor of Manipur; Lt Gen. Shamsher Singh Mehta, former Western Army Commander; Shri Paramjit Singh Patwalia, Senior Advocate in the Supreme Court.

THE TRIBUNE is free, objective, and independent. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language, are the hallmarks of the paper.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
