Chandigarh, November 4

The Punjab Vigilance Bureau (VB) has arrested commission agent Anil Jain, owner of Shri Krishna Rice Mill, Sawaddi, in Ludhiana district, in a case already registered against contractors for getting labour cartage and transportation tenders in grain markets at higher rates in connivance with officials.

He was today remanded in a two-day police custody.

He is named in a case in which contractor Telu Ram and others are booked. He had been avoiding his arrest and his anticipatory bail application was also dismissed by the High Court. An Innova car and a briefcase containing documents has also been recovered from him.

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).
