Amritsar, July 29

Punjab Police on Friday arrested a sub-inspector for allegedly taking a bribe of Rs 10 lakh from a drug peddler.

SI Narinder Singh was posted as additional SHO at Lopoke police station here. He was arrested by the Special Task Force, which also recovered the amount from his possession.

His name came up during the interrogation of drug peddler Guravtar Singh who, along with his accomplice Avtar Singh, was arrested after 1kg heroin was seized from them.

Amritsar SSP (rural) Swapan Sharma confirmed the arrest.

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).
