The Muktsar City police have booked two persons for allegedly duping a local resident of Rs 1 crore on the pretext of securing the post of a Deputy Superintendent of Police (DSP) for his son.

Harminder Singh of the Jalalabad road area told the police that he came into contact with Jagmohan Singh of Sector 11 in Chandigarh through Pawan Sharma of Faridkot. “Pawan said Jagmohan had connections with higher-ups and he could secure the DSP’s position for my son by helping him clear the PCS exam. I gave Rs 1 crore to Jagmohan in three instalments, but he neither secured that job for my son nor returned my money,” he 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).
