Karnal, December 15

Private architect Varun Dutt has been arrested in connection with the August 31 arrest of Haryana Shehri Vikas Pradhikaran (HSVP) Junior Engineer Praduman, a resident of Sector 13.

The JE was allegedly arrested while accepting a bribe of Rs 50,000 for the issuance of a completion certificate of a building. In addition to bribe, the Vigilance Bureau, Karnal, has also seized Rs 19,93,100 from his residence.

Dutt was accused of accepting bribe on behalf of the JE and other officials of the HSVP for the issuance of completion certificates, said Inspector Sachin of the Karnal Vigilance Bureau.

“Arrested on Monday, Dutt was remanded in judicial custody on Tuesday,” he added. Earlier, the Estate Officer (EO), HSVP, was also arrested in the case.

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).
