Patiala, October 22

The Punjab Vigilance Bureau today registered a bribery case against Head Constable (HC) Harmanjeet Singh, posted at the Kalajhar police post, under the Bhwanigarh police station, Sangrur district, for allegedly demanding a bribe of Rs 1,00,000.

A spokesperson for the bureau said Harmanjeet was booked on the basis of an online complaint lodged by Pappu Singh of Bagrian, Malerkotla district. He has reported that the policeman demanded bribe to help him in a police case.

After a verification of the facts as well as material evidence, a bribery case under Section 7 of the Prevention of Corruption Act was registered against the suspect at the Vigilance Bureau police station here and further investigation was underway, he added.

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).
