Faridabad, July 9

The Anti-Corruption Bureau (ACB) has arrested two persons, including an assistant taxation officer (ATO) of the Income Tax (I-T) Department, for seeking a bribe of Rs 3 lakh from a resident of Palwal district.

The ACB team caught Adesh red-handed while taking a bribe of Rs 3 lakh on behalf of the ATO Akash Kumar, from Ashok Kumar on Monday evening. The ATO had allegedly demanded Rs 7 lakh for not taking action against him over alleged discrepancies in filing the income tax return for the past year.

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).
