The accused was identified as Ankush Kumar, a resident of Indira Colony, Sector 17, Panchkula. According to the police, Sub-Inspector Rajiv Kumar, SHO, Sector 31 police station, and his team were patrolling an area Ram Darbar, Phase 2, on Friday when they noticed a youth carrying a bag trying to flee on seeing them. He was chased down and a search of his bag led to the recovery of heroin.

The accused failed to furnish any licence or permit to keep the contraband. A case was registered against 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).
