The Vigilance Bureau today seized Rs. 9 lakh from the Sector 67 house of a GMADA section officer arrested for graft.

The suspect, Devinder Kumar Sharma, was nailed yesterday while accepting a bribe of Rs. 1 lakh at the Phase 8 GMADA office. He was produced in a court today, which sent him to four day police remand.

Officials said they have identified 10 bank accounts in the name of the suspect. VB sleuths said Sharma, who owned a three-storey house and a plot, had transferred Rs. 2.25 lakh and Rs. 2.75 lakh in two different accounts two days before his arrest.

Sharma was arrested after a Phase 10 resident, Nirmal Singh, complained that the GMADA officer was demanding Rs. 1 lakh as a bribe for issuing no-dues certificate for a booth.

A case under the Prevention of Corruption Act was registered against him at the Vigilance Bureau police station, Mohali.

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).
