Chandigarh April 5

The CBI court has framed charges against former Punjab Roadways director Paramjit Singh who was arrested while allegedly accepting Rs 2 lakh bribe for recommending a name for promotion.

The court has framed charges under Section 7 of the Prevention of Corruption Act. Paramjit Singh, IAS officer, was arrested from his office by a CBI team on January 31, 2022. The CBI had registered a case against the director on the complaint of Jaswinder Singh Chahal, officiating general manager of the Punjab Roadways. The complainant alleged that Paramjit had demanded Rs 5 lakh bribe from him for recommending his name to the Principal Secretary (transport) for promotion. But the accused agreed to accept Rs 2 lakh from him after negotiations.

The CBI laid a trap and caught him while allegedly accepting Rs 2 lakh.

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).
