Chandigarh, June 28

Just a month after the Punjab cyber cell registered two FIRs against unidentified persons for creating a fake WhatsApp account in the name of Punjab DGP VK Bhawra and Chief Secretary, the fraudsters have struck again.

The DGP announced on Twitter that fraudsters were using his photo to seek money from officials. He asked those contacted to not succumb to the fraud and report the matter to the cyber 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).
