A CBI team on Friday conducted a raid at the sprawling farmhouse of suspended DIG Harcharan Singh Bhullar at Mand Sherian village near Machhiwara here.

According to sources, a team comprising seven to 10 members reached the 55-acre farm in several vehicles around 11 am and spent the entire day searching the premises.

The CBI team didn’t reveal if it recovered any objectionable item or incriminating document.

Bhullar was booked under the Excise Act after the CBI seized 108 bottles of liquor worth Rs 2.89 lakh during a search at his farmhouse — Mehal Farms — in Bondli village of Samrala on October 16.

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).
