Faridabad, May 15

The police today arrested IAS officer Dharmender Singh for allegedly taking a bribe of Rs 1.10 crore for allowing the construction of a commercial building in Sonepat last year, when he was the MC Commissioner. He was nabbed from Gurugram.

A complaint was lodged by Lalit Mittal, a resident of Delhi, with the Faridabad police last year. The police had arrested the middleman in the case earlier this 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).
