Mohali, April 16

The police have booked two suspects, Deepak Chopra and Sonia Chopra, for duping a Fazilka resident, Ajay Nagpal, of Rs2.5 crore on April 13.

The suspects, directors of Macro Group Private Limited in the Industrial Area, Phase 1, lured the complainant to invest Rs2.5 crore in a two-wheeler company for higher returns. The suspects refused to entertain Nagpal after receiving the money, the police said.

The complainant alleged that the suspects were introduced to them as employees of a prominent two-wheeler company, they said.

A case under Sections 420, 467, 468, 471 and 120-B of the Indian Penal Code has been registered against the suspects at the Phase 1 police station. — TNS

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).
