Amritsar, June 12

Following investigation into the seizure of 4,500 sedative pills from Shubham Kumar, a resident of Katra Bhai Sant Singh, the Amritsar (rural) police have confiscated 1.38 lakh intoxicating tablets from a medical store situated in Pashchim Vihar in Delhi.

Amritsar (rural) Senior Superintendent of Police Dhurv Dahiya said the police party headed by Inspector Mohit Kumar recovered more than 1.38 lakh of intoxicants from the medical store, besides 2,640 syrups.

No arrest has been made in connection with the seizure. The police had arrested Shubham on May 29 from Ajnala.

He could not produce any documents regarding sale or purchase of 4,500 intoxicating tablets seized from him.

The probe into the backward links in the case took the police to Delhi-based firm M/s Shiva Traders, said the police.

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).
