Complainant Shyamlal alleged that agents Kuldeep Singh and his associates demanded Rs 45 lakh to arrange a foreign travel for his son Mandeep. The family raised the sum by selling jewellery and borrowing from relatives. However, instead of facilitating a legal travel, the agents pushed Mandeep through a perilous journey spanning Vietnam, El Salvador, Thailand, Laos, Dubai, China, Suriname and Mexico, where he was assaulted and held hostage for more money.

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).
