The CBI today carried out searches at multiple locations in the country in a case related to purchasing office of approximately 65,000 sq ft area by J&K Bank in Mumbai in 2010. Eight locations were searched in Jammu, Srinagar and Mumbai, including premises of then J&K Bank chairman Haseeb Drabu.

Incriminating documents, articles and electronic evidences, several bank account details and bank locker keys have been recovered during searches, CBI spokesperson RC Joshi said.

Officials had purchased Akruti Gold Building for around Rs 180 crore ignoring the lowest bid offered, allegedly causing a loss of over Rs 100 crore to the bank.

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).
