In a blackmailing case, the Ding police arrested a man and wife with Rs 1 lakh on Friday. The arrested couple, identified as Manoj Kumar and his wife Kiran, residents of Mandi Adampur, Hisar, were caught attempting to extort money from a man named Rajbir.

According to the Ding police station In-charge, Sub-Inspector Bhim Singh, the case began when Pushpa, a resident of Rupana Bishnoi, rented a house in Preet Nagar, Sirsa. Pushpa filed a complaint, stating that her husband, Rajbir, was initially contacted by Kiran, who was introduced to him by an acquaintance.

A case has been registered against Kiran and Manoj under Section 308(2)(6) of the BNS and 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).
