The CBI today arrested a chief accounts officer of the Jammu and Kashmir Tourism Development Corporation ( JKTDC) and a lecturer of Government Polytechnic College, Jammu, for allegedly taking Rs 2.3 lakh as bribe.

Officials said Sajad Ahmed, Chief Accounts Officer, JKTDC, had allegedly demanded bribe, routed through Shokat Ali (lecturer), for clearing bills of a businessman. The CBI arrested the accused while taking bribe.

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).
