Chandigarh, January 12

The Vigilance Bureau (VB) today arrested former minister Sunder Sham Arora in the Punjab Small Industries and Exports Corporation (PSIEC) plot scam. Arora was already in judicial custody in a case registered against him for trying to bribe an official.

A VB spokesperson said Arora was brought on production warrant from Ropar jail and was produced in a Mohali court.

The judge sent Arora to one-day police custody.

Besides Arora, the VB has also booked an IAS officer and several others as well.

The IAS/PCS officers’ association had protested against the registration of the case and went on a mass casual leave. However,they resumed their work after Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann issued them an ultimatum to return to duty or face disciplinary action.

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).
