The Lohian Khas police have arrested a Kapurthala-based woman for allegedly cheating a handicapped man. Investigating Officer Harwindar Singh said the accused had been identified as Shakti Salwan of Preet Nagar in Kapurthala.

Lakhwindar Singh, a resident of Gatti Peer Bakash village, had complained to the Jalandhar (Rural) Senior Superintendent of Police that he — a handicapped man — had been blackmailed by the accused.

The IO said a case under sections 318(4) (cheating and dishonestly inducing delivery of property) and 351(2) (criminal intimidation) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita had been as registered against the accused.

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).
