Lucknow, April 6

A woman clinical psychologist was duped of Rs 30,000 by an unidentified miscreant who posed as an Army officer.

The woman, a resident of Lucknow’s Laxmanpuri Colony, got a call from a man who introduced himself as an Army officer and said he wanted to hire her services for psychological tests and counselling of 45 jawans.

“The next day, he asked me to send Re 1 from the PayTm UPI and then he sent Rs 2 in my bank account. A little later, I got a message that Rs 30,000 was deducted from my account,” she said.

SHO Sunil Kumar Singh, said an FIR has been lodged against the unidentified accused and the cyber cell is probing the case.

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).
