A team of the Special Task Force (STF) was attacked by family members of a drug peddler identified as Deepak Singh at his residence in the Maqboolpura area here yesterday.

According to the police, Deepak was wanted in connection with a case registered in March this year. The police have booked Deepak and his family members on the charge of attacking the STF team. Besides Deepak, others booked include, his wife Ramandeep Kaur, Aman, Dilpreet Kaur, Arshpreet Kaur, Major Singh, Jashanpreet Kaur, Deepak’s brother Gopi and Gopi.

Sub-inspector Dilbagh Singh of the STF said when their team raided Deepak’s residence to arrest him, he and his family members restrained officials from performing their duty.

The police have registered a case under Sections 225, 511, 294, 353, 186 and 341 of IPC against them.

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).
