Punjab Police DGP Gaurav Yadav on Wednesday said 52 police officials had been dismissed from service on corruption charges.

Addressing a press conference here, Yadav said the dismissed cops ranged from constables to inspectors.

The dismissals were recommended by the district SSPs in a state-wide exercise in the past 10 days.

The exercise followed directions from Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann to check corruption and misuse of power in the police department.

The CM had said that he had received complaints about fake FIRs being registered by cops to extort money.

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).
