New Delhi, December 14

A 42-year-old customer care official in BSES was arrested on Thursday for allegedly demanding a bribe from a retired government employee for the installation of an electricity metre, officials said.

The accused has been identified as Devesh Sharma, a resident of Badarpur.

A retired government official alleged that he has been visiting the BSES office for installation of an electricity metre in his newly purchased flat in Nizamuddin.

The complainant was asked to pay a bribe of Rs 50,000 in advance and Rs 50,000 at the time of installation of the metre, Joint Commissioner of Police (ACB) Madhur Verma 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).
