The Delhi Police have arrested three drug peddlers and seized 170 grams of MDMA, also known as Molly or Ecstasy, worth approximately Rs 85 lakh from them, an official said on Sunday.

The accused were supplying drugs in the Mahipalpur area of southwest Delhi, he said.

“Acting on a tip-off, the team conducted a raid on February 24 near Masoodpur village. Three suspects attempted to flee, but two - Md Rahul (23) and SK Sabir (36) - were apprehended.

“A search led to the recovery of 97 grams of MDMA. During interrogation, they revealed that their accomplice, Md Babul, had escaped. The police arrested Babul on February 28 and recovered 73 grams of MDMA from him,” Deputy Commissioner of Police (Southwest) Surendra Choudhary said.

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).
