The police on Tuesday said it had busted a fake currency racket with the arrest of five persons and confiscation of notes amounting to Rs 6.50 lakh ahead of local body polls in Uttar Pradesh. The police said the gang members were inspired by a popular web series and used Instagram to connect with their network spread across Delhi-NCR, and parts of Rajasthan and Uttar Pradesh. Additional DCP (Noida) Shakti Avasthy said the recovered banknotes include forged notes of denominations 2,000, 500 and 200.

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).
