Kharar, April 26

Court today sent the traffic policeman, who was held on a charge of graft here, to one-day police remand.

Harpreet Singh, posted with the Mohali PCR wing, was arrested for taking a bribe of Rs 200 from a taxi driver in Kharar. The suspect was checking vehicles at the Khanpur chowk on Sunday night when he allegedly took the bribe amount from the taxi driver for incomplete documents.

A passerby made a video and sent it to the anti-corruption helpline. The police said the Harpreet had set up an illegal naka and was caught taking bribe.

Kharar SHO Satinder Singh said when they went to the spot, they found Harpreet sitting in a car in uniform and arrested him. “The police are investigating whether the suspect had set up such nakas in the past or not,” the police said.

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).
