A man created a flutter by flinging Rs 10 currency bills from a flyover at the busy KR market area here on Tuesday morning, a video of which has gone viral.

In the clip, the man is seen donning a black blazer, with a wall clock slung around his neck.

On seeing the notes flying and strewn around them, people rushed to pick it, which caused commotion and traffic snarls on the stretch for a while.

According to sources, the man, said to be in his thirties, has been detained.

Initial probe revealed that he threw currency notes of Rs 10 denomination and total worth Rs 3,000.

Police suspect that the man is mentally unsound. Investigation is on, they said.

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).
