New Delhi, November 23

The Delhi Police on Thursday arrested a 61-year-old man for allegedly posing as an inspector.

The suspect identified as Laxmi Narayan Sharma is a caterer by profession. However, to earn easy money, he had been using police uniform to cheat the public on one pretext or the other.

South West DCP Manoj C said, “The complainant alleged that one person impersonating Inspector RK Sharma, who is the Additional SHO Sagarpur, had taken Rs 5,000 from him and further demanded a cheque of Rs 1.5 lakh on the pretext of giving undue benefit in some case.”

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).
