The CBI, in coordination with the NIA, arrested its own official in connection with corruption charges. The CBI laid a trap on a complaint of corrupt activities by an investigation officer of the NIA.

The CBI had received an input that one Rocky Yadav, owner of Ramaiya Construction, was alleging corrupt activities of NIA Patna Branch investigation officer, during the course of the agency’s investigation against him.

After the verification of inputs, the CBI laid a trap and arrested the accused investigation officer, Deputy SP Ajay Pratap Singh, and his two agents while accepting an illegal bribe of Rs 20 lakh from the complainant. Further investigation is on.

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).
