Solan, December 29

The Vigilance and Anti-Corruption Bureau today registered a case of cheating, forgery and criminal conspiracy against a Shimla resident for allegedly issuing fake heavy training vehicle licences in various districts.

Deputy Inspector General of Police Siva Kumar said an FIR under Sections 420, 468, 471 and 120B of the IPC had been registered against the accused, Jagdish Kumar, at the bureau’s local office today.

Kumar was active in Solan, Shimla, Kullu and Kinnaur districts from 2020 to May 2022.

“Cases of fake driving licence had been detected by the police, following which an inquiry was conducted by the bureau. It led to the detection of a fake vehicle training licence racket operational in several districts since 2020. Further probe will be conducted,” said bureau’s SP Anjum Ara.

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).
