A total of 26 premises were searched. An official said, “It is mandatory for jewellers to take a copy of PAN card from customers buying jewellery above Rs 2 lakh. Many jewellers split the bills to keep these under Rs 2 lakh so that customers’ details remain unknown.”

The department was expecting to unearth a huge tax evasion, he said.

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).
