The Vigilance Bureau (VB) nabbed a patwari, Lakhbir Singh, posted at Dasuya, red handed accepting a bribe of Rs 10,000 on Thursday. Also Girdawar Tejinder Singh Goldy has been booked, although he’s yet to be arrested.

In a complaint filed with the VB, Jugraj Singh, a resident of Usman Shahud village in Dasuya Sub-Division, had alleged that the said patwari and girdawar were demanding a bribe of Rs 10,000 for implementing division and demarcation of his ancestral agriculture land.

Acting on the complaint, a VB team laid a trap and the patwari was caught red-handed accepting Rs 10,000. The money received as bribe was recovered from him in the presence of two witnesses.

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).
