Yamunanagar, July 6

A team of the Anti-Corruption Bureau arrested an auction recorder of the Market Committee, posted at Chhachhrauli town of Yamunanagar district, while accepting a bribe of Rs 30,000 from an arhtiya.

Suresh Kumar, an inspector of the ACB, said the accused had been identified as Malkeet Singh and was allegedly demanding a bribe of Rs 50,000 from the arhtiya of Chhachhrauli, for the renewal of his commission agent licence.

A case was registered against the accused at the Panchkula ACB police station today. The accused will be produced in a court on Friday.

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).
