Acting on a tip off, the Border Security Force (BSF) arrested two suspected drug peddlers with over Rs 1 lakh in alleged drug money near Bhaini Rajputa border village on Friday.

The suspects, attempting to escape on a bike, were nabbed by alert BSF troops.

According to a BSF spokesperson, the accused are residents of the Daoke border village.

In addition to the cash, the BSF seized two mobile phones, and the bike used in the attempted escape was also impounded. The duo has been handed over to the Punjab Police for further investigation.

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).
