The CBI today said it had arrested a state GST officer, Ramneek Singh, of Kathua circle in J&K red-handed while accepting a bribe of Rs 13,000 from a businessman.

A search was conducted at the office and residential premises of the accused.

CBI spokesperson RC Joshi said the complainant had filed applications with the GST office for claiming refund of excess balance in electronic cash ledger and for taking GST registration for his new firm for which the accused had sought 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).
