Amritsar, May 11

Two drug peddlers arrested by the Amritsar (Rural) police with 510 grams of heroin yesterday were produced before a duty magistrate on Saturday. They were sent to two-day police custody for further interrogation.

Those arrested were identified as Akashbir Singh of Naushehra Dhalla, Tarn Taran, and Banty of Khapar Kheri in Amritsar. The police seized a mobile phone and a bike from them.

Satinder Singh, SSP Amritsar (Rural), said the police were probing their links to whom they used to deliver drug consignments. Preliminary probe revealed that the duo had links with Qasim Dhillon, who had smuggled contraband into the Indian territory with the help of drones.

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).
