Kurukshetra, February 13

A man from Pehowa has allegedly been duped of Rs 2.84 lakh on the pretext of sending him to Italy.

The accused has been identified as Gurvinder Singh, a resident of Pehowa. He was arrested and produced in court which sent him to one-day police remand.

Suraj, a resident of Pehowa, in his complaint said that he works as a barber. The accused told him that he would send him to Italy and sought Rs 13 lakh for it.

“He told me that he and his two brothers run a barber shop in Italy. He took Rs 2.84 lakh from me in instalments. He also gave me a fake visa, but didn’t send me abroad. Later, I came to know that he has been cheating me,” said Suraj.

A case was registered under Section 406 and 420 against Gurvinder at Pehowa police station on Friday.

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).
