Hisar, August 30

The State Vigilance Bureau has arrested Sub-Inspector Jaideep of the Food, Civil Supplies and Consumer Affairs Department while accepting a bribe of Rs 10,000 here today.

A VB spokesperson said, “Jaideep had been posted in Adampur. He demanded bribe to allow the supply of ration at the complainant’s depot and threatened to cancel his licence otherwise.”

The complainant, a resident of Chulli Khurd village, informed the VB, which laid a trap and arrested him. The sleuths also recovered the bribe money from him. A case under the Prevention of Corruption Act was registered against Jaideep and further probe is underway.

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).
