The Dakha police booked Raj Kumar Kataria of Rasoolpur, Jalandhar district, for allegedly duping Gurchetan Singh of Kailpur village of Rs 4.72 lakh. The victim claimed Kataria posed as a crime branch inspector, boasting connections with senior officials and promised to recruit his son Lovepreet Singh as a constable in the Punjab Police.

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).
