The Lohian Khas police have booked a travel agent for allegedly duping a villager of Rs 13.30 lakh on the pretext of sending him abroad. Shahkot Deputy Superintendent of Police (DSP) Amandeep Singh, who is the investigating the case, said the suspect, was identified as Gobinda, a resident of Yussafpur village.

Harjinder Singh, a resident of the same village, complained to the police that he had paid Rs 13.30 lakh to the suspect for facilitating his migration to Germany. However, he neither sent him abroad nor returned his money.

The DSP said a case under Sections 406 (breach of trust) and 420 (cheating) of the IPC and Section 13 of the Punjab Travel Professions Regulation Act was registered against the suspect after an inquiry.

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).
