The police have arrested owner of an immigration firm for defrauding an applicant of Rs 7 lakh on the pretext of sending him abroad.

Purani Abadi police station in-charge Ajay Kumar said Navneet Soni of Kunj Vihar Colony, Sriganganagar, had been arrested. He said the case had also been registered against Raghuveer Soni and an unknown person.

On June 26, Vishwas Kumar of Kohla filed a complaint against Navneet Soni, Raghuveer Soni and another person for defrauding him of Rs 7 lakh. Vishwas said the accused took Rs 9 lakh from but couldn’t send him abroad. Later, they refunded Rs 2 lakh. As the complainant went to the accused’s office for demanding money, he was threatened of dire consequences.

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).
