The Nurmahal police have arrested a travel agent for allegedly duping a resident of Rs 12 lakh on the pretext of sending him abroad. Investigating Officer (IO) Gurnam Sngh said that the accused has been identified as Imran Khan, a resident of Ward No. 6, Ahmadgarh in Malerkotla.

The IO said that Sandeep Singh, a resident of Bhardwajian village, had complained to the Senior Superintendent of Police (SSP), Jalandhar rural, that he had paid over Rs 12 lakh to the accused for facilitating his migration abroad, but neither was he sent abroad, nor was the money, passport, school and birth certificates returned.

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).
