Patiala, November 24

The Kotwali police have booked unidentified persons for impersonating Chairman-cum-Managing Director (CMD), Punjab State Power Corporation Limited (PSPCL), Baldev Singh Sran. The case has been registered on a complaint lodged by Sran in July.

In the complaint, Sran claimed that “some unidentified persons have been using my picture on their WhatsApp and making calls to the PSPCL staff.” He said the impersonators were either trying to chat or commit a fraud, using his picture. “It is requested that a thorough probe be conducted and an FIR against the culprits may please be lodged immediately,” the complaint read.

“We have registered an FIR against the unidentified persons and further probe will be conducted,” a senior police official said.

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).
