The Thane police have registered a case after a man alleged that he was lured with “good returns” on investment and duped of about Rs 62 lakh, an official said on Friday.

The complainant, an engineer with a private company, lost the money between September and November, he said.

A woman, who identified herself as Anaya, contacted the man over WhatsApp, offering “good returns” through share trading. The man shelled out Rs 62.39 lakh over two months, the official said, quoting the complaint.

The man lodged a complaint at the Kalwa police station on Wednesday after receiving no returns and failing to get a response from the woman. A probe is underway, the official added.

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).
