Chandigarh, April 21

A recovery agent posted at the Debt Recovery Tribunal, Sector 17, was allegedly caught by the CBI while taking a bribe of Rs. 70,000 today. He has been identified as Sunil Kumar Tiwari.

The complainant, a resident of Kaithal, Haryana, had approached the CBI, stating that the suspect was demanding a bribe of Rs. 2 lakh and after negotiation, the amount was fixed at Rs. 70,000.

CBI sleuths verified the complaint and laid a trap. The suspect was nabbed from Sector 17 while allegedly taking the bribe.

The suspect will be produced in a court tomorrow. CBI officials also carried out a search at the suspect’s house.

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).
