The Lohian Khas police have booked two brothers on the charges of breach of trust and cheating. Investigating officer (IO) Govindar Singh said the accused have been identified as Balvir Singh of Kapurthala and his brother Mittar Singh.

Mukhtar Singh, a resident of Nasire Wal village, had complained to the police that the accused had signed an agreement with him to sell their 15 marlas plot situated in Lohian Khas, and received an amount of Rs 15 lakh from him as advance money, but did not register a sale deed and cheated him. The IO said a case has been registered against the accused under Sections 406 and 420 of the IPC following an inquiry. No arrest has been made yet, but further investigation is under way.

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).
