Thiruvananthapuram, August 24

A man has been arrested for allegedly forging fake degree certificate for Swapna Suresh, a key accused in the controversial gold smuggling case.

Sachin Das, a native of Punjab, was arrested on Tuesday morning by a police team from Kerala and will be brought to the state tomorrow, police said on Wednesday.

“A four-member police team nabbed the accused in Punjab. He will be brought to the state on Thursday. The team had reached Punjab on August 18 and apprehended him on Tuesday,” police told PTI.

Earlier, it was alleged that Suresh’s appointment as a consultant to Space Park, promoted by the state government, was based on her fake degree certificate.

A case has been registered.

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).
