The Crime Investigation Agency (CIA) nabbed a person and recovered 410-gm heroin from his possession here on Tuesday. The accused has been identified as Sukhraj Singh, a resident of Naushera Dhala village.

Assistant Commissioner of Police (Detective) Gurinderpal Singh Nagra stated that on the basis of secret information, CIA staff raided and arrested Sukhraj Singh and recovered the contraband. During an initial interrogation, the accused said he had bought the heroin from Harvinder Singh, alias Kala, a resident of Lahian village in Tarn Taran district.

The police also nominated Harvinder Singh and raids are being conducted by two different police teams to arrest him. ACP Nagra stated that the raids were being conducted to arrest the accused.

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).
