The police authorities said that a police team was holding naka near Bhindi Aulakh Kalan when they noticed three motorbike-borne persons coming along the kutcha lane of the village drain from Kuttiwal village side. They were stopped and during checking, the police found a packet of heroin which Lakhbir Singh had tied on to his waist with a black colour headgear.

A case under section 21, 25, 29, 61 and 85 of NDPS Act was registered against the suspects while further investigations were in progress to ascertain the source of the contraband. The drug was apparently smuggled through a drone.

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).
