The Vigilance Bureau (VB) has arrested Constable Kanwarpal Singh, who is posted at the Nakodar (Rural) police station, for accepting Rs 49,800 bribe.

Lakhvinder Singh, a resident of Madrasa village, Muktsar, had lodged a complaint against Kanwarpal on the anti-corruption action line.

Lakhvinder stated that he worked as a security guard and had applied at the District Commander, Punjab Home Guard Office, Faridkot, in 2017, on compassionate grounds. He added that Kanwarpal demanded a bribe of Rs 6,50,000 in lieu of getting him recruited on the compassionate grounds. Lakhvinder alleged that he transferred Rs 49,800 into the account of the accused through PhonePe.

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).
