Chandigarh, May 27

A court in Haryana’s Jind on Friday sentenced a government college associate professor to four-year imprisonment for accepting bribe from a student.

The additional district and sessions court judge also imposed a fine of Rs 10,000 on Subhash Duggal, according to an official release. Duggal was arrested by the Haryana State Vigilance Bureau after an inquiry over corruption charges was initiated against him.

In 2015, he was booked under Prevention of Corruption Act, the release 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).
