The Moti Nagar police on Friday registered a case of fraud against two persons who duped a city resident of Rs 1.45 crore on the pretext of investment.

They were identified as Sunil Aggarwal of Sector 39, Chandigarh road, here, and Mohit Sharma of Chandigarh.

The complainant, Kanwaljit Singh of Focal Point, told the police that both suspects had met him and asked to make an investment. They promised that if he would give money to them, they would double it in a short period. Believing the duo, he gave Rs 1.45 crore to them but as assured, they failed to give any return.

“As the suspects failed to double my money, I asked them to return the amount but they only made hollow promises. Upset over the matter, I lodged a police complaint, which led to the registration of an FIR against them,” he alleged.

ASI Vijay Kumar said after registering a case, further probe was launched.

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).
