Cyber Crime Cell, in a joint operation with the Chennai police, has arrested two persons in a case of digital arrest fraud registered in Chennai. Pardeep Singh (24) of Ganganagar in Rajasthan and Yasdeep Singh (24), a resident of Sector 66, Mohali, have been arrested.

A resident of Chennai was cheated out of Rs 1 crore in a digital arrest fraud and a case under Sections 318 (4), 319 (2), 336 (3), 340 (2) of the BNS, and 66 D of the IT Act was registered. The Tamil Nadu police had informed their UT counterparts that the whole fraudulent transactions were made in an account at the UCO Bank here.

The accused were involved in opening and arranging multiple mule bank accounts, which are provided to criminals on a commission basis for facilitating transfer of the victims’ 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).
