Panchkula, September 23

A special investigation team (SIT) of the Panchkula police have arrested one more person in the Haryana Staff Selection Commission (HSSC) male constable recruitment exam scam, taking the total number of arrests in the case to 118. The suspect has been identified as Ravi, a resident of Harki Dev Colony in Rohtak.

A tip-off was reportedly received by the office of the Deputy Commissioner of Police from the Haryana Staff Selection Commission, Panchkula, on February 1, 2022 that some candidates had cheated during the written examination for recruitment to the post of male and female constables. Fingerprints of some candidates were not matching. After investigation, it was found that some candidates had committed fraud in the police recruitment exam.

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).
