Shimla, October 9

The State Vigilance and Anti-Corruption Bureau (SVACB) has arrested the secretary of Ispur Agriculture Cooperative Society, Shyam Lal, for the alleged embezzlement of Rs 1.63 crore by forgery and preparing false loan documents during 2015 and 2019.

He was produced in a court today, which remanded him to seven-day police custody. Searches were conducted at various places at Haroli Tehsil in Una district and incriminating documents were seized, said ADGP (SVACB), Anurag Garg.

A case in the regard was registered in Una on October 7 on the complaint of the assistant registrar, Cooperative Society, Una.

The case is being investigated by a Special Investigating Unit, Shimla, headed by Varun Patial.

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).
