Amritsar, October 31

The Cantonment police have arrested a head constable, Amarinder Singh, of the intelligence wing of the Punjab Police on the charge of peddling drugs. The police recovered 4-gm heroin and Rs 74,000 in cash from his possession.

Amarinder is a resident of Patti, Tarn Taran. A case has been registered against him under Sections 21, 27-A, 61 and 85 of the NDPS Act. He was reportedly posted in the State Special Operation Cell.

Robin Hans, SHO, Cantonment Police Station, said, “The accused had been posted in the airport area. He has told the police that he was addicted to drugs, but maintained that he was not involved in the trafficking of drugs.” Further investigation is underway.

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).
