A VB spokesman said a case had been registered against the patwari on the complaint of Amrik Singh, a resident of Ghallu village.

The spokesman said the complainant contacted the VB and alleged that the patwari had demanded Rs 8,000 as bribe in lieu of providing copies of ‘fard’ of his ancestral land. Amrik claimed that the patwari had already taken Rs 1,000 and demanded the second instalment of Rs 3,000.

After preliminary investigation, a VB team laid a trap in which the accused was nabbed. A case has been registered. He will be produced in court tomorrow.

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).
