Chandigarh, September 19

A local court has extended by three days police remand of Parwej Alam, alias Jitu Bhadana, alias Sonu Bhadana, who along with 21 others, including a Chinese national, was arrested for cheating and extorting money from people on the pretext of providing them instant loan through various apps.

Bhadana, Wang Chengua, a Chinese national, and Anshul Kumar were produced in the court today on completion of their police remand. While Chengua and Anshul were sent to judicial custody, cops sought Bhadana’s remand. SP (Cyber Crime Investigation Cell) Ketan Bansal said fresh evidence had cropped up during probe.

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).
