Abohar, August 11

Nine persons have been booked for embezzling about Rs 20 lakh on the pretext of sending some residents from Sriganganagar district to Canada.

Among the suspects are Punjabi lyricist and singer Gurpal Singh, alias Sangdil-47, of Chak 47F village in Srikaranpur, his wife Navjinder Kaur, father Tehal Singh Sandhu, Sukhjinder Singh of Thandewala, Pradeep Singh of Chak 53 GG village, Ikram of Rasoolpur Gujran in Shamli district of Uttar Pradesh, Pavittar Singh, Sumandeep Singh and Sakkatar Singh.

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).
