Additional Chief Secretary (Health) RD Dhiman referred the matter to the Vigilance and Anti-Corruption Bureau after an audio in which Gupta was purportedly heard seeking a bribe of Rs 5 lakh went viral.

In the 43-second clip, two persons can be heard talking about a transaction of Rs 5 lakh in lieu of some purchase. The Vigilance is trying to identify the other person and ascertain the origin of the recording. During interrogation, Gupta was not able to give any convincing reply, resulting in his arrest.

ADGP (Vigilance and Anti-Corruption Bureau) Anurag Garg said after hours of questioning, Gupta gave misleading replies. He was taken to Indira Gandhi Medical College and Hospital for examination, where he was admitted as a patient of diabetes and blood pressure. — TNS

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).
