Panipat, September 1

A team of the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) here today apprehended the Regional Provident Fund Commissioner (RPFC), Amit Nain, posted here, while accepting a bribe of Rs 50,000.

A case was registered against the RPFC under various Sections of the IPC.

The owner of the WWF security company, Panipat, which provides manpower to various business houses/institutions/offices etc, in his complaint to the CBI, alleged that the RPFC was demanding a bribe for de-freezing the company’s account.

Following the complaint, the CBI sleuths laid a trap and caught the RPFC while accepting the bribe of Rs 50,000. Searches were being conducted at the residential and official premises of the accused, a CBI spokesperson said.

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).
