Hoshiarpur, May 25

A person duped a retired teacher of Rs 7.35 lakh. The accused called the victim from a foreign number and impersonated as her relative living abroad.

The victim of Nangal Kango village said on May 6, she received a call on WhatsApp. The caller introduced himself as her relative and asked her to get Rs 2.85 lakh deposited into his account so that he could get his PR file cleared. He then got more money transferred into his account and the accused cheated her of Rs 7.35 lakh. A case was registered.

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).
