Those arrested have been identified as Mastaan, Ibran, Moin, Samsuddin, Irfaan and Sahid of Lafuri village in Nuh district. Inspector Sandeep Mor, incharge of the crime unit, Punhana, said they were arrested when they were reportedly cheating people while sitting in their fields.

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).
