A local court has sentenced Mukesh Kumar, a resident of Dhanas, Chandigarh, to 10-year rigorous imprisonment and imposed a fine of Rs 1 lakh after convicting him under the NDPS Act.

As per the prosecution, the accused was arrested on December 30, 2018, with the banned injections when a police party was on patrolling duty. On frisking the accused, 30 injections were seized from him sans documents.

The counsel for the accused said that the accused had nothing to do with the ‘offence’.

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).
