Badal (Muktsar), Sept 25

A team of Vigilance sleuths today raided a farmhouse of former Finance Minister and BJP leader Manpreet Singh Badal at Badal village to arrest him.

As Manpreet was not at the farmhouse, the VB team had to return empty-handed.

Before leaving, Kulwant Singh, DSP, Vigilance Bureau, Bathinda, said, “The raid lasted for nearly an hour. We thoroughly searched Manpreet Badal’s house. He was not here. We didn’t find any objectionable record. Our teams visited various places to search for him today.” The VB team came in eight to 10 vehicles and was led by two DSPs. It reached here around 4:40 pm.

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).
