Patiala, June 6

A Vigilance Bureau team today visited the Patiala residence of former Punjab cabinet minister Vijay Inder Singla, who is facing allegations of owning assets disproportionate to his income. The VB is assessing the value of his property and other assets.

Officials at the Vigilance Bureau have been probing allegations of disproportionate income against him. He remained PWD and Education minister in the previous Congress regime. Earlier, he was summoned and questioned by the VB in Sangrur in March. The VB has also quizzed his close associates.

Vigilance Bureau Patiala Senior Superintendent of Police (SSP) Jagatpreet Singh said the VB inquiry into his assets is ongoing. “We assessed the technicalities of his Patiala residence and his commercial building in the city,” said the SSP.

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).
