Fazilka, April 15

The Vigilance Bureau today caught a revenue patwari red-handed while accepting a bribe of Rs 5,000 in Abohar. The patwari has been arrested on the basis of a complaint by Rahul Sachdeva, a resident of street number 15-B, near the post office, Abohar.

In his complaint with the Vigilance Bureau, Sachdeva said his late mother Vijay Laxmi Sachdeva was the owner of residential plot measuring 1,800 sq ft on Sito Road, Abohar.

After her death, Rahul applied for mutation in his favour as he was the claimant of the plot as per the will of his mother. DSP (Vigilance) Gurinderjit Singh said patwari Piara Singh allegedly demanded Rs 5,000 from Rahul in lieu of changing the record.

Inspector Chander Shekhar recorded the statement of Rahul and laid a trap and arrested the patwari while accepting the bribe today.

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).
