Officials said the cop was arrested following an online complaint by Gurjit Singh on the Chief Minister Anti-Corruption Action Line. As per the complaint, a case was registered against him and his wife at the Sohana police station. The accused ASI, who was associated with the said case, had demanded a bribe of Rs 2.50 lakh for cancellation of the case.

The cop was caught accepting Rs 1.55 lakh as a bribe from the complainant on Tuesday evening. A case under the Prevention of Corruption Act was registered at the VB Police Station in 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).
