A Vigilance Bureau team led by DSP Sukhwinder Singh on Friday arrested Patwari Sodhi Singh of Gobindpura and his helper Kulwinder Kumar Saini of Sukhchain Nagar red-handed while taking bribe of Rs 40,000 from Satnampura resident Shiv Raj Rana for mutation of a piece of land located in Panchhat village.

A case under Section 7 and 7(A) of the Prevention of Corruption Act has been registered against both.

In another incident, VB has arrested Patwari Balwinder Singh, posted in the Jalalabad, Khadoor Sahib, Tarn Taran, for taking a bribe of Rs 15,000 and registering a forged mutation of agricultural land.

A VB spokesperson said an investigation was conducted on basis of complaint by Barjinder Singh and his brother Harjinder Singh of Khabbey Dogran village in the district.

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).
