The Anti-Corruption Bureau (ACB), Gurugram, arrested a constable red-handed while accepting a bribe of Rs 15,000, officials said.

The accused, Constable Yashpal posted at DLF Sector 29 police station, allegedly asked for the bribe after threatening the complainant to stop construction work underway at the latter’s house.

According to the complaint filed by one Rajiv Chanda, a resident of DLF Phase 4, the accused threatened to stop the construction under provisions of the Graded Response Action Plan (GRAP).

GRAP was implemented in Delhi and the NCR area last month amid rising pollution.

An ACB official said the accused was arrested red-handed on Tuesday evening and a case was registered, adding that a probe was underway.

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).
