Chandigarh, August 16

A Nigerian involved in drug peddling has been arrested by the Operations Cell of the Chandigarh police while possessing 172 grams of heroin.

The accused, identified as Chukwudi Samson (34), was arrested from near the Sector 17 bus stand by a team led by Inspector Amanjot Singh, in-charge of the Operations Cell.

The police said the accused came to the city to deliver consignment to some drug peddler.

A case under the NDPS Act has been registered against the accused at the Sector 17 police station.

Last week, a Nigerian, Benjamin (25), was arrested by the Operations Cell while possessing 274 grams of heroin.

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).
