Chandigarh, February 15

Punjab Police on Wednesday said a man was arrested for allegedly possessing 1kg heroin.

Rs 27 lakh in cash was also seized from him.

Punjab Director General of Police Gaurav Yadav said the arrest was made during a cordon and search operation conducted by the Tarn Taran police on Tuesday.

“Yesterday in the #CASO drive based on specific Intelligence, @TarnTaranPolice arrested one person and seized 1 Kg Heroin, Rs.27 Lakh Drug money & 1 Scorpio without number plate,” tweeted Yadav.

The DGP said an FIR was registered and further investigation was under way.

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).
