ASI Bhupinder Singh in the custody of the VB

A team of the Vigilance Bureau apprehended Assistant Sub-Inspector (ASI) Bhupinder Singh, posted at Goindwal Sahib police station, red-handed while accepting a bribe of Rs 2,000 on Saturday.

A Vigilance Bureau official said that a complaint was lodged by Dilbag Singh, a resident of village Dhunda in Khadoor Sahib. Dilbag Singh alleged in his complaint that the accused had demanded a bribe of Rs 5,000 for producing a record in his favour in a police case being heard in trial court.

The Vigilance Bureau team laid a trap during which the accused ASI was caught while accepting the bribe money in the presence of two official witnesses.

A case under the Prevention of Corruption Act has been registered against the accused at the Vigilance Bureau police station, Amritsar range.

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).
