Bhalinder Singh, 35, is an IT graduate from Mohali. He has been languishing in Hoshiarpur jail for past 11 months. He is facing 13 fraud cases at different places in the state. He was brought to Faridkot from Hoshiarpur jail on a production warrant today.

Recently, he had cheated a person in Fatehgarh Sahib, posing as a ruling party MLA. He also duped another person at Tanda in Hoshiarpur.

According to a police complaint, Rajan Kumar Jain, the businessman, claimed that the accused, posing as Speaker Kultar Singh Sandhwan, made a WhatsApp call to a Kotkapura-based business and tried to dupe him of Rs 27,543. Jain brought the matter to the Speaker’s notice. Subsequently, a complaint was filed with the 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).
