Chandigarh, May 24

Special Court, Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances (NDPS), has sentenced Sarwan Khan (36), a resident of Maloya, to 15-year rigorous imprisonment in a case registered four years ago.

The police arrested the accused on September 11, 2019, with 25 Buprenorphine injections (2 ml each) and 25 Pheniramine maleate injections (10 ml each) at Sector 39 here.

The accused failed to justify the reasons for keeping the banned injections.

Meanwhile, the special court has acquitted Kulwinder Singh in a separate case registered against him under the NDPS Act five years ago. The police had arrested the accused in 2018 allegedly with 11 gram of heroin. Yadvinder Singh Sandhu, counsel for the accused, argued that the accused was falsely implicated in the case. He said the prosecution had failed to prove the charges.

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).
