The police arrested a Barnala resident for allegedly selling a retired Colonel’s land using forged documents.

The suspect, Balwant Singh, and his associates used to forge Aadhaar and PAN cards, prepare fake documents and fraudulently sold land. On the complaint of Col NJS Pannu (retd), a case was registered at the IT City police station.

The complainant had stated that the suspects prepared fake documents of 10 acres in Tangori and sold it. The police said the suspect was already booked in a cheating case, adding that his associates were absconding and would be arrested soon.

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).
