Jammu, February 6

The local Crime Branch (CB) has arrested a man who allegedly used to dupe people on the pretext of doubling their money in a short span of time.

Acting on complaints filed against the accused, a team of the CB arrested Saddam Hussain, a resident of Kalaban, at present Dharana Channi, Mendhar tehsil, Poonch, from the Bathandi area on Jammu outskirts. Investigation agencies said the accused, along with other co-accused, swindled money from gullible people of Mendhar and surrounding areas in Poonch district and other areas in the Jammu province after inducing and luring them on the pretext of doubling their money within 20 to 40 days and ultimately cheating them.

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).
