The police have arrested three persons in a drug case.

The suspects were identified as Amit Joshi, a resident of Chandigarh, Sumit Kumar Jaggi, a resident of Kangra in Himachal Pradesh, and Ravindra Singh.

On February 12, the police had arrested Joshi after 1.167 kg of hashish was found in his vehicle during a routine search near Abhaypur village in Sector 19. In police custody, Joshi claimed that he had purchased the drug from Jaggi. Following this lead, the police arrested Sumit on February 14.

During his remand, Sumit claimed that he had obtained it from Ravindra, who, he alleged, illegally produced and suppled the drug in Kullu. On the basis of the information, the police arrested Ravindra on February 16.

The three suspects have been sent to judicial custody.

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).
