Officials said the gold biscuits were being smuggled in a cigarette pack. The duo was arrested. On December 31 last year, Customs officials seized gold worth Rs 1.60 crore from a passenger arriving from Dubai. The officials recovered six rectangular pouches pasted inside the underwear of the passenger.

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).
