Muktsar, September 7

The Muktsar police today claimed to have arrested a man who posed as officer on special duty (OSD) to Cabinet minister Dr Baljit Kaur and tried to dupe a man of Rs 10 lakh by promising him a government job.

Dr Sachin Gupta, SSP, Muktsar, said Gurveer Singh of Fakkarsar village here lodged a complaint alleging Gurmeet Singh of Kolianwali village introduced himself as the OSD to Dr Baljit Kaur and promised him the job of a government teacher in lieu of Rs 10 lakh.

“The accused is a Class XII passout who has been disowned by his family. Earlier, he had committed fraud with his employers,” said the SSP.

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).
