Amritsar, July 9

The city police have confiscated movable and immovable properties worth Rs 21.17 lakh belonging to a drug peddler, identified as Satnam Singh, alias Satta. The drug peddler’s residential house in Kot Mit Singh area also included the seized properties.

Satta was arrested by the police in August 2022 with 2.5 kg of opium and Rs 1.45 lakh alleged drug money.

Additional Deputy Commissioner of Police (ADCP) Dr Darpan Ahluwalia said besides the residential house, the police also freezed his bike and a scooter. She said after identifying the properties registered in his name or in his family members’ names, the list was sent to competent authority and administrator in New Delhi for freezing the properties. After getting the go-ahead, the police confiscated the properties, added the ADCP.

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).
