Shimla, March 15

The Special Judge today convicted Dhani Ram Bragta, JE, HPSEB, of taking gratification in respect of an official act and criminal misconduct and sentenced him to two years of imprisonment.

In 2012, a field executive of Proton Infratel, Delhi, had given a complaint to the Vigilance, Shimla, that his company had applied for the estimates of a Bharti Air-Tel tower in the Chopal but Dhani Ram Bragta, JE, demanded Rs 25,000 to provide the estimate.

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).
