A resident of Sector 11 was duped of Rs 2.5 lakh by scammers, posing as the CEO of the company he was employed at. The complainant, Varun, lost the money after he purchased apple store gift cards and sent them to the unidentified persons. Varun said he worked for a company, Dynata, as a project manager and he had never conversed with the company’s leadership via phone until recently, when he received a text message from a man claiming to be the CEO of his company, Matt Gaffney.

He said the miscreant asked him to buy a few apple store codes for the company’s Indian clients and assured to refund him the money. Varun said he bought apple gift cards worth Rs 3.3 lakh, but his purchase of a gift card worth Rs 1 lakh was rejected by Amazon, sensing a fraud. The police registered a case under various sections of the BNS.

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).
