The Vigilance Bureau (VB) arrested a revenue patwari, Tejinder Pal Singh, and his assistant Surinder Singh for demanding a bribe of Rs 1,20,000. A VB spokesperson said both were arrested following a complaint of Gian Chand, a resident of Shaktinagar, Dera Bassi.

The complainant had alleged that the patwari’s aide had been demanding Rs 1,50,000 as bribe from him in lieu of correction in the mutation of a plot purchased in the year 2002 and the deal was settled for Rs 1,20,000. The complainant had recorded the entire conversation with the assistant on his phone and submitted it to the VB as evidence.

During investigation, the allegations levelled in the complaint were found to be correct. On the basis of the inquiry, a case under the Prevention of Corruption Act was registered against the duo. The two suspects will be produced in court tomorrow.

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).
