A team of the local CIA staff led by Sub-Inspector Tarsem Singh while on patrol in Khemkaran town arrested a car-borne person with 1.104 kg of heroin on Tuesday.

Tarsem Singh said the accused has been identified as Subaj Singh, a resident of Kalas, a village situated close to the Indo-Pak border. Tarsem Singh said the accused had arranged the consignment from his Pakistan-based co-smugglers associates. He was waiting for a customer in the grain market at Khemkaran.

Tarsem Singh has a close relationship with the Pakistan-based drug smugglers. The police took his car into their possession too. A case under Sections 21-C, 61 and 85 of the NDPS Act has been registered against the accused who was produced in a court on Wednesday and the court remanded him in police custody for two days.

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).
