New Delhi, March 16

The CBI has arrested Khalid Moin, a professor in the Department of Civil Engineering, Jamia Milia Islamia University, and his two accomplices in connection with a Rs 1 lakh bribery case.

The other two accused are Abid Khan and Prakhar Pawar, who are employees with an Okhla-based architecture firm. CBI officials said Khalid Moin allegedly gave a structural stability certificate to the builder of the Chintels Paradiso Housing Society in Gurugram, where a tower collapsed in February. But the professor’s arrest was not connected to the house collapse, they 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).
