Chandigarh, August 21

The Cyber Crime Division of the state police has busted an interstate gang involved in financial frauds with the arrest of three persons from different districts of West Bengal, said ADGP, Cyber Crime Division, V Neeraja here on Wednesday.

Those arrested were: Shovon Saha, Abishek Kumar Singh and Parveen Kumar Rai. Police teams also seized three mobile phones, one laptop and Rs 30,900 from their possession.

The authorities had reportedly received a complaint regarding Rs 49.60-lakh cyber fraud wherein the fraudster sent a WhatsApp message to the accountant of a company by using display picture of its owner, a Mohali-based realtor. The employee assumed the message to be from the company’s owner and transferred the money into the bank account given by the fraudster.

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).
