Solan, March 3

A team of officials from the Vigilance and Anti-Corruption Bureau, (VACB) Solan, on Tuesday arrested SI Veena Paul, posted at the women’s police station as an additional SHO (Baddi), while accepting a bribe of Rs 5,000 from a woman.

Additional Director General of Police, VACB, Anurag Garg said Veena Paul had demanded Rs 5,000 from the complainant for not implicating her in a kidnapping case. She was caught red-handed while accepting the bribe from the complainant at the police station.

A team, led by DSP Santosh Kumar, arrested her. A case under the Prevention of Corruption Act has been registered.

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).
