The UT police have arrested third accused in a case related to a fraudulent stock market investment scheme.

The accused, identified as Nandlal, alias Nandu (25), was apprehended from his native village Jeejot in Rajasthan.

Investigators had found that Rs 2.5 lakh, part of the cheated amount, had been credited to his bank account. During interrogation, he confessed to his role in the fraud and revealed the details of other accomplices, who are at large.

The case stems from a complaint lodged by Vijayander Prasad, a Chandigarh resident, claiming that he was duped of Rs 4.78 lakh. He stated that he was lured through a WhatsApp message allegedly sent by a stock investment firm and later added to a group that circulated daily trading tips.

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).
