Raipur, July 23

A traffic policeman in Chhattisgarh’s capital Raipur on Saturday displayed exemplary honesty by handing over a bag containing Rs 45 lakh to a local police station, an official said.

Traffic constable Nilamber Sinha, attached to the Kayabandha post in Nava Raipur, found the bag in the morning on a stretch of road under the Mana police station limits, said Additional Superintendent of Police Sukhnandan Rathore.

“After checking the bag and finding Rs 45 lakh in 2000 and 500 notes inside, he informed senior officials and deposited the bag at the Civil Lines police station,” the Additional SP said.

Senior officials announced a reward for Sinha, he added.

Civil Lines police has started a probe to find out the provenance of the cash, the official 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).
