Gurugram, December 13

The Vigilance Bureau today nabbed JE Banshi Lal, foreman Vinod and lineman (outsourced) Pankaj Mishra of DHBVN red-handed while taking Rs 30,000 bribe in lieu of installing a power meter.

A local had moved the VB, saying the trio demanded Rs 50,000 for installing a meter at his plot in Sector 56. They had taken Rs 20,000 from him earlier and were now demanding for the remaining Rs 30,000.

A VB team laid a trap and asked the complainant to call the trio to his plot to collect the money and nabbed them.

“We have booked them under Section 13 (1) B of the Prevention of Corruption Act and will take them on remand after they are produced in a city court,” said Jitender Kumar, spokesperson of VB, Gurugram.

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).
