The phone number of city-based businessman Anil Chopra was reportedly hacked on Tuesday afternoon.

Some hackers are learnt to have managed to clone the number and sent across messages on WhatsApp seeking an amount of Rs 45,000 from his contacts. All messages read that he was in need of money as his UPI account had developed an error and he needed the money urgently.

Chopra is a prominent realtor, runs a chain of schools and colleges and also owns hotels. His son Rajan Chopra said, “We have got the complaint lodged with the Cyber Cell of the police regarding the hacking of my phone. We hope that the guilty gets booked at the earliest.”

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).
