The police have arrested a travel agent for allegedly duping a Kurukshetra resident of Rs 23.5 lakh on the pretext of sending his relatives abroad.

The accused has been identified as Mohit Chadha, alias Amandeep, a resident of New Delhi. A police spokesman said in January 2024, Gopal Ram, a resident of Kheri Ramnagar, had stated in his complaint that he got in touch with Chadha through Malkhan Singh to send his nephew abroad. He said Chadha had sought Rs 15 lakh to send his nephew to Canada on a work visa. The accused demanded 50 per cent amount in advance. However, the accused failed to send both the applicants abroad and refused to return 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).
