The accused, identified as Simranjit Singh, was arrested after a video of several youth, including two women, consuming drugs in a hotel room went viral on social media.

Assistant Commissioner of Police (ACP) Dr Sheetal Singh said Simranjit Singh was booked by the Division B police under Section 27 of the NDPS Act while investigations were on to identify others, including two women, consuming drugs in the video.

“As soon as the video came to our knowledge, the police immediately swung into action,” said the ACP, while adding that during interrogation, Simranjit Singh revealed that he had procured the narcotics from Rajbir Singh and her mother Sukhjinder Kaur, both residents of Udham Singh Nagar.

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).
