The police have arrested a travel agent for allegedly duping a person of Rs 9.74 lakh on the pretext of sending him abroad.

The accused has been identified as Bhupinder Singh, a resident of Sarih village.

Complainant Manjinder Singh, a resident of Saincha village, had informed the Senior Superintendent of Police, Jalandhar(Rural), that he had paid the money to the accused for migrating to Canada, but neither did the accused sent him abroad nor did he return his money.

A case under sections 420 (cheating) and 120-B (criminal conspiracy) of the Indian Penal Code has been registered against the accused.

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).
