The suspect has been identified as Rohit Meena (21), a resident of Bhilwara in Rajasthan. A Chandigarh resident, Bharat Kumar, had reported that he was added to a WhatsApp group offering high-return investment opportunities. Believing the scheme to be legitimate, he transferred large sums into various bank accounts controlled by the fraudsters. Investigators found out that the transactions were routed through accounts linked to Bhilwara and that mobile numbers used in the deception were connected to the accused.

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).
