Acting on a complaint filed by the Maharashtra Chief Electoral Officer (CEO), the Mumbai cyber police today lodged an FIR against a man who claimed he could hack EVMs by isolating machine frequency, EC officials said.

In the complaint, the Maharashtra CEO stated that the claims made by the accused, Syed Shuja, were false, baseless and unsubstantiated.

The FIR was registered under the BNS and the IT Act at the Dakshin Mumbai cyber police station on November 30. In 2019, the EC had ordered an FIR against Shuja for making similar claims.

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).
