Chandigarh, September 24

The Punjab Vigilance Bureau on Saturday said it has unearthed a scam pertaining to the transportation of commercial goods without bills and payment of taxes.

It also found connivance of some officials of the taxation and excise departments.

A case has been registered against the owner of Delhi Malwa Transport Company, his son, three drivers and an agent.

A spokesperson of the Bureau said they had formed three teams that searched suspicious vehicles carrying commercial goods at Bathinda.

It was found that some of the goods loaded in three vehicles were being brought to Punjab without bills and payment of taxes.

After preliminary investigation, a case was registered under relevant sections of the Prevention of Corruption Act and the IPC.

The spokesperson said the role of employees will be probed.

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).
