Chandigarh, June 26

A local court has dismissed the bail application of a senior constable of the Punjab Police, Manish Kumar, who was arrested for allegedly withdrawing money in lakhs by submitting fake medical bills of other Punjab Police personnel.

The accused had been working at the medical reimbursement department of the police. A case was registered against the accused on the complaint of Senior Constable Virender Singh.

The police arrested the accused on March 20, 2021. The counsel of the accused claimed that the petitioner had been falsely implicated in the case. The Assistant Public Prosecutor opposed the bail application.

He said the cheated amount — Rs,96,056 — had been recovered from the petitioner. After hearing the arguments, the court rejected the bail plea. — TNS

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).
