Mohali, May 7

A fake cop has landed in the police net. The suspect, Avinash Kumar (21) of Kurali, impersonating as an SI of the Punjab Police, demanded bribe from vehicle owners.

He was caught taking Rs 1,500 from a vehicle owner. A case under Sections 170, 171, 419 and 384 of the IPC has been registered at the Phase 1 police station.

Phase 1 SHO Shivdeep Brar said, “The suspect was arrested near Dara Studio in Phase 6. The police had received a tip-off that a sub-inspector was stopping vehicles near the studio and collecting money under the pretext of checking documents. A decoy owner was sent and further search led to three currency notes of Rs 500 denomination.”

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).
