Hoshiarpur, November 27

The Dasuya police have registered a case against three persons — Kamaldeep Singh, Indrajeet Singh and Ankush Verma on the charge of cheating a Dasuya man out of Rs 6.5 lakh on the pretext of providing him a job in the railways.

The complainant alleged that Kamaldeep had told him that he was a well-connected man who could get the former a job in the railways. The accused allegedly demanded an amount of Rs 4.5 lakh in exchange for a job. After that, Indrajeet Singh allegedly took an amount of Rs 25,000 from the complainant on the pretext of facilitating a medical examination for him.

Besides, an amount of Rs 1,75,000 was also deposited in Ankush’s account. However, the complainant never got the job.

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).
