The police have arrested two persons for cheating a Zirakpur resident of Rs 1.7 lakh in a fake foreign currency deal. On a complaint by Ashish Kumar, a case was registered on Thursday. Ashish Kumar had alleged that Mohammad Hazrat, 32, of Mundi Kharar, offered to sell him USD 4,000 at half rate. He met the accused in Burail village with Rs 1.7 lakh, but after handing over the money, received an empty bag instead of the promised dollars.

Mohammad Hazrat and co-accused Sangam, 35, of Sector 52, Chandigarh, were arrested the same day.

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).
