Faridabad Municipal Corporation Commissioner Dhirender Khadgata on Friday reached out to the police regarding a cyber fraudster, who had made a fake ‘war donation’ WhatsApp account using his likeness.

Following the complaint, the Faridabad cyber police began an investigation, but no FIR has been registered so far.

Khadgata said the MCG Joint Commissioner had informed him about someone using his picture and name on a WhatsApp account, seeking ‘war donations’. In wake of India-Pakistan tensions, NCR cyber criminals are having a field day trying to fool people into making donations for the Army, and stealing people’s data.

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).
