Panchkula, May 10

The local police today nabbed a person for cheating residents of Rs 1 lakh on the pretext of renting a house. The suspect has been identified as Akshay Kumar, a resident of Baijnath village, Kangra district, in Himachal Pradesh.

Monika Gulati of Sector 21, in her complaint to the police, has said the suspect contacted her father and introduced himself as Randeep. He said he wanted to rent her father’s house and asked for the bank account number or e-wallet number so that he could pay the rent in advance. When her father shared the details, the fraudster transferred Rs 99,998 from his account.

The police registered a case under section 406 and 420 of the IPC and arrested the suspect. They also freezed his bank account having Rs 52,300.

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).
