A local court has sentenced Bhura to undergo 15-year-imprisonment in an NDPS case registered two years ago. The court has also imposed a fine of Rs 1.50 lakh on the convict.

The police arrested the accused near the Mani Majra sports complex on August 18, 2022, with 5 gm smack and 12 buprenorphine injections. He failed to show any licence or permit to keep the same. After investigation the police filed the charge-sheet against the accused under Section 20 and 21 of the NDPS Act.

After hearing the arguments, the court convicted the accused under the charges framed against him and also imposed a fine of Rs 1.50 lakh on him.

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).
