Mobile data recovered from 67 cyber criminals arrested by the Gurugram cyber police over the past few months has revealed that the accused defrauded nearly 25,000 people of over Rs 106 crore.

“Of the total cases, 48 have been registered in Haryana,” ACP Dewan said. “Investigations have shown the accused lured victims through fake social media profiles, sextortion, investment scams and impersonation of officials.”

Police officials said they recovered Rs 88.15 lakh in cash from the accused, adding further investigation is underway.

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).
