The police have booked technical assistant of the Punjab State Warehousing Corporation, Kapurthala, Satpal Singh on the charges of misappropriation of wheat stocks for the 2025–26 season.

According to official records, wheat stored at the procurement centre in the Mandi Yard Complex, Kapurthala, was allegedly subjected to embezzlement and irregularities. The discrepancies surfaced following routine stock verification and were communicated through official daks.

The case names Satpal Singh, currently residing at the Hoshiarpur Road Bypass locality. Legal proceedings have been initiated by the District Manager, Punjab State Warehousing Corporation, Kapurthala.

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).
