Sarabjit Singh, Assistant Superintendent of Jail, said during the search operation, staff confiscated 27 mobile phones (six touch phones and 21 keypad phones), 10 SIM cards, eight chargers, a cigarette packet, 120 bundles of bidis and four packets of tobacco from jail inmates.

Following a complaint by jail authorities, the Islamabad police have booked 11 prisoners in the case.

Additional Deputy Commissioner of Police Vishaljit Singh said investigations are on to find out how the prohibited material was sneaked into the high-security prison. He said those involved in the illegal activity would be booked.

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).
