Chandigarh, January 12

The Vigilance Bureau (VB) on Friday arrested a revenue official and an associate of another revenue official from Ludhiana and Bathinda districts for taking bribe.

Revenue Patwari Jagjit Singh of Halka Kalyan Sukha in Bathinda was arrested on a complaint filed by Kuldeep Singh. He was accused of accepting a bribe of Rs 10,000 to facilitate transfer of land.

Ashok Kumar, an associate of Revenue Patwari Chamkour Singh of Giaspura in Ludhiana, was arrested for accepting a bribe of Rs 6,000. In this regard, a bribery case was also registered against the patwari.

He was arrested on the basis of a complaint filed by Rakesh Kumar, a resident of Kohara village in Ludhiana district.

Rakesh Kumar had alleged that the patwari and his accomplice had demanded a bribe of Rs 6,000 to complete formalities for mutation of his newly purchased plot.

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).
