The action was taken on the complaint of ETT teacher Karamjit Singh, a resident of Phase 11. A case under the Prevention of Corruption Act has been registered against the suspect at the Vigilance Police Station.

The suspect was produced in a local court which remanded him in three-day police custody. Sources said the suspect was seeking a bribe to clear the arrears of complainant’s salary. Karamjit Singh had lodged a complaint against him and the suspect was arrested near the victim’s house in Phase 11 in the presence of two witnesses.

In November 2015, Karamajit Singh was arrested under the NDPS Act. He was suspended by the Education Department after his arrest, but in 2019, he was acquitted. Arrears from the suspension period were pending. — TNS

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).
