Gurugram, January 27

A joint team of the Regional Transport Authority (RTA) and the police nabbed a Sahrawan village resident for running a Whatsapp group to leak the RTA raid locations to vehicles.

The accused was identified as Balram, a resident of Sahrawan village near Manesar. The joint team was searching for more than 100 members involved in the group. The accused revealed that he used to collect between Rs 500 and Rs 1,000 from the drivers to provide them prior information of the RTA raid through Whatsapp.

“It was found that the accused Balram had connected about 100 drivers of Rewari, Narnaul, Gurugram and Mahendragarh with the “Rao helpline” Whatsapp group. He used to give information about all RTA nakas through voice message on the group,” inspector Pawan Kumar of the RTA said in his complaint. — OC

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).
