Amarinder Sharma, Additional Sessions Judge (ASJ), district court, Jagadhri, today sentenced a Junior Engineer (JE) of the MC, Yamunanagar-Jagadhri (MCYJ), to four-year rigorous imprisonment (RI) in a corruption case.

The ASJ also imposed a fine of Rs 15,000 him and ordered that in case of default in the payment of fine, the convict will further undergo imprisonment for six months.

Acting on the complaint of MCYJ contractor Phool Singh, a team of the Vigilance Bureau had caught the JE taking Rs 10,000 bribe on September 25, 2018.

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).
