The Faridabad cyber police arrested two persons for online fraud. An FIR was registered in the case.

The accused were identified as Pankaj and Sonu. Both were produced in a city court and sent to judicial custody.

In his complaint, a resident of a Ballabhgarh colony said he had received a call from a person who claimed to be the head of a department of State Bank of India. He sent his ID on the complainant’s WhatsApp number, after which he told him that he had not redeemed the credit card reward points. He asked him to download an SBI app, following which Rs 1,53,332 was deducted from his account.

“The accused used to provide mobile SIM cards to cyber fraudsters to buy drugs,” said a police spokesperson.

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).
