A team of the Cyber Crime Police Station, UT, arrested two youths from Uttar Pradesh for allegedly running an online investment-cum-work-from-home scam that left a city resident poorer by nearly Rs 9 lakh.

The accused were identified as 19-year-old Abuzar of Lucknow and his cousin 22-year-old Faizan Khan of Aligarh.

The arrests followed a technical investigation into an FIR dated September 3, registered after complainant Mandeep reported having been duped after being lured by an Instagram link promising high-commission tasks linked to e-commerce platforms.

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).
