A 25-year-old man has been arrested in connection with demanding a ransom of Rs 10 lakh from a grocery shop owner.

The accused, Kuldeepallegedly contacted Keshav Jain, the owner of a grocery store in Adarsh Colony, on December 5. Kuldeep reportedly told Jain his son was being followed by unknown individuals and his life could be at risk unless a ransom of Rs 10 lakh was paid to ensure his safety.

The police stated their investigation is ongoing. So far, there is no indication Kuldeep is linked to any criminal gang. Authorities believe the ransom demand may have been an attempt by the accused to make quick money.

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).
