New Delhi, June 21

The CBI has arrested Joint Drugs Controller S Eswara Reddy, Associate Vice-President of Biocon Biologics L Praveen Kumar and three others on the charge of bribery in a case related to waiver of Phase 3 clinical trial of “Insulin Aspart” injection. Biocon Biologics is a subsidiary of Kiran Mazumdar Shaw-led Biocon and the firm has denied the allegations. The agency has also arrested Dinesh Dua, director at Synergy Network India Private Limited, who allegedly gave Reddy Rs 4 lakh, Guljit Sethi, alleged conduit of Biocon, and Assistant Drug Inspector Animesh Kumar.

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).
