Faridkot, May 25

Five years after the Punjab and Haryana High Court had ordered a probe by the CBI into the disappearance of Faridkot youth Manoj Kumar, who was working as an ATM money loader, the CBI has sought to close the case, saying no clue could be found about the missing youth and the suspects.

Manoj had been missing since May 2014 from Faridkot. A special investigation team of the Punjab Police failed to trace him. Almost Rs 19 lakh had been fraudulently withdrawn from ATMs by those who allegedly abducted Manoj, it is claimed. — TNS

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).
