Municipal Corporation’s Sub-Divisional Officer AK Dhadwal today received a phone call on WhatsApp from a man, who posed himself as a CBI officer from Delhi, and allegedly tried to defraud him.

Dhadwal, who is posted in the electrical wing, has complained to the CBI and the Chandigarh Police.

The complainant said the man allegedly identified himself as SP, CBI, Delhi. He allegedly threatened him to frame him in some case, if he failed to pay him Rs 50 lakh. The caller also allegedly shared a video of three men, who are being beaten with some belt, apparently to scare him.

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).
