The Gurugram police arrested three persons for duping people by posing as employees of the credit card department over phone. The accused provided bank account details to cyber fraudsters.

The accused were identified as Sudhir Kumar, Himanshu and Ashish Kumar, all natives of Uttar Pradesh. A team of the cyber police arrested them on Wednesday.

During interrogation, the accused revealed that out of the defrauded amount, Rs 1.99 lakh was transferred to the bank account of Sudhir, who had given his bank account to Himanshu in exchange for 5 per cent commission.

“Following this, Himanshu sold this bank account to Ashish at a commission of 3 per cent and Ashish further sold this bank account to cyber fraudsters at a commission of 3 per cent,” said Vikas Kaushik, ACP (Cyber).

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).
