The State Intelligence and Preventive Unit (SIPU) of the GST under the supervision of Jaskaran Singh Brar, Director, SIPU, GST, Punjab, has arrested two brothers in connection with huge tax evasion.

According to sources, their firm is located at Buddhewal Road, where a raid was conducted.

The company, being operated by the name of Monga Furnace, was sold by original buyers. The name of the firm was not changed by the new owners.

The two new owners, who came from Mandi Gobindgarh, were arrested by the GST wing. Later, the suspects were produced before a court.

There are allegations that in the past two years, tax evasion and bogus billing worth over Rs 160 crore were done by the unit 2 of Monga Furnace.

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).
