The Delhi Police have arrested two fraudsters for allegedly duping a man of almost Rs 40 lakh on the pretext of good returns against his investment in southwest Delhi’s RK Puram area, an official said on Thursday.

The accused have been identified as Kuldeep Chaudhary (22) and Ranjay Singh (32). A man complained that he had been allegedly duped of Rs 39.50 lakh after being added to a social media group that offered stock and IPO investment recommendations, he said.

The fraudsters allegedly convinced him to open an institutional account and transfer money into designated bank accounts. Once the money was transferred, his access was blocked, and the accused demanded further investments to recover his funds, he said.

“A case had been registered in this regard,” DCP (Southwest) Surendra Choudhary said.

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).
