Chandigarh, August 26

The Cyber Crime Investigation Cell of the UT police has arrested two fraudsters for duping a woman of Rs41 lakh on the pretext of providing her insurance bonus.

After getting lured, the victim deposited money in different bank accounts. However, she never received any returns. Later on, the fraudsters switched off their mobile phones.

During investigation, accused identified as Aashish Gupta, who got an amount of Rs2,80,000 deposited to his bank account and Rs1 lakh to his brother’s account, and one Shiv Nath, who got Rs8.40 lakh deposited to his bank account, were arrested. Both accused are residents of Delhi.

They were produced in a court today, which sent them to three-day police remand.

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).
