Chandigarh, November 9

A local court has sentenced a man, Kamalpreet Singh (alias Kali), to ten years of rigorous imprisonment after convicting him in a four-year-old NDPS case. The court has also imposed a fine of Rs 1 lakh on the convict. He was held with 15 buprenorphine injections on December 28, 2019.

Following a probe into the matter, the police presented a challan against him in court. But he pleaded not guilty to the charges, which were framed against him under Section 22 of the NDPS Act. After hearing the arguments, the court sentenced Kamalpreet to ten years of rigorous imprisonment and slapped a fine of Rs 1 lakh on the convict.

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).
