Bathinda, July 4

A former employee of the Institute of Hotel Management (IHM), Bathinda, has been booked for allegedly siphoning off Rs 9.78 lakh.

After conducting a probe, the police registered a case against Rahul Garg, a resident of Nai Basti in Bathinda, who worked as an assistant accountant at the IHM from 2016 to 2018.

The matter came to light when an audit of 2017-18 was conducted. It was revealed that Garg allegedly took fees from 43 students but handed them fake receipts.

Principal Rajnit Kohli had filed a complaint on January 15, 2019, in which she had stated that an assistant accountant working in the institute had siphoned off money. Investigation officer Chiman Lal said raids were being conducted to arrest the accused.

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).
