Kurukshetra, September 19

The State Vigilance Bureau, Ambala, on Monday booked a patwari posted in the district on the charge of accumulating wealth disproportionate to known sources of his income.

As per the FIR registered, there were allegations against the patwari that he has earned money through corrupt practices.

During the probe, it was found that the patwari had spent over Rs 1.36 crore while his and his wife’s income and the earnings from other legal sources were around Rs 1.15 crore from 2013 till 2020.

The official failed to provide the source of over Rs 21.57 lakh spent more than

the income. A case has been registered under the Prevention of Corruption Act.

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).
