Tarn Taran, July 15

The Punjab Vigilance Bureau (VB) on Saturday nabbed a patwari identified as Ranjodh Singh, posted at the Revenue Circle Pahuwind in Tarn Taran district, for accepting a bribe of Rs 4,000 via GPay.

The official was arrested on the complaint of Paramjit Singh, a resident of Amritsar.

A VB spokesperson said Paramjit had lodged a complaint on the anti-corruption portal on June 23. He complained that the said official had taken a bribe of Rs 4,000 for issuing a copy of jamabandi of a land, which was registered in his father’s name. A copy of jamabandi was required to get a loan from a bank against land.

A case has been registered against patwari at the VB police station, Amritsar Range. Further probe is on.

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).
