A seemingly routine phone call turned costly for a Delhi resident when he received a message about a new ICICI Bank credit card in his name. Believing the call as genuine, he followed instructions from the caller, shared an OTP, and soon discovered Rs 1 lakh had been withdrawn from his account.

The Outer North Cyber Crime team traced the stolen money through a web of accounts. Their efforts led to Amit (27) of Panipat. Amit and his associates ran a network that generated and sold fake credit cards, posing as bank representatives.

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).
