The special CBI court today convicted former JD(U) Rajya Sabha member Anil Kumar Sahni and two others in the LTC scam case for fraudulently claiming travelling and dearness allowance reimbursements. Sahni was then representing the Upper House from Bihar.

The CBI said besides Sahni, the other two persons convicted included Arvind Tiwari, then Personal Assistant of the MP, and NS Nair, office superintendent (Traffic), Air India, in connection with the case. It was found that Sahni, now an RJD MLA, conspired with others and forged e-ticket and fake boarding passes to defraud Rajya Sabha of Rs 23.71 lakh as travel and dearness allowance reimbursement without undertaking any journey.

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).
