The Enforcement Directorate has filed a prosecution complaint against Ludhiana-based travel agent Nitish Ghai for commission of offences under Sections 3 and 4 of the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA).

The court of Additional District and Sessions Judge Dharminder Paul Singla has fixed the next date of hearing on December 18.

In the complaint, it has been reported that the accused looted the people aspiring to migrate abroad by assuring them of providing work visa. He ran two firms in Ludhiana — Blessing Consultancy and GND Consultancy — from 2015 to 2018 even though he did not possess the required licence under the Emigration Act.

The police have registered as many as 112 FIRs against Ghai and his firms at various police stations in Ludhiana and Jalandhar districts.

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).
