Hisar, December 21

Haryana State Vigilance team arrested a clerk working at a tehsil office in the district for accepting a bribe of Rs 3,000 on Tuesday.

The suspect, Navneet Panghal from Hisar’s Burein village, had demanded a bribe for releasing a government grant to a beneficiary, Vigilance Inspector Dharambir Dahiya said.

The victim, Lakshman from Landhari village, was entitled to a grant under the state’s inter-caste marriage scheme. The suspect had demanded a bribe of Rs 3,000, which he was willing to accept through UPI payments. A vigilance team caught him getting the first installment of Rs 2,500 transferred, the official said.

The team has impounded two mobile phones from the suspect, the official 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).
