A man from Jubbal tehsil in Shimla district was duped of Rs 11.36 lakh by a fraudster posing as an Area Manager of Tata Steel.

As per a plaint lodged by Govind Singh, the incident occurred on April 25 when he was searching online for a Tata Steel distributor. Shortly after, he received a call from a person claiming to be the Area Manager.

Trusting the caller, Singh placed an order for 150 tonnes of steel and transferred Rs 11,35,650 through online payment. However, the steel was never delivered. A case has been registered.

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).
