The police have initiated a probe into an incident in which a caller from some foreign country had threatened to eliminate Manmeet Singh of Jagjit Nagar, in case he did not pay him Rs 50 lakh. The suspect claimed to be a fugitive, gangster Gopi Lahoria, who is believed to be staying in Canada.

Manmeet informed the police that he had received the call from a foreign number on May 31. On June 1, he again received a call, after which the victim reported the matter to the police. A case has been 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).
