Cocaine worth 1.5 crore was seized and an African national among two drug peddlers were arrested in Delhi, the police said on Friday.

Yao, a 40-year-old African national, and Bihar native Bikas (23) were arrested and 141.9 gm cocaine worth approximately Rs 1.5 crore was seized from their possession.

“Both were actively supplying cocaine across Delhi and NCR. The arrests were made near Bhikaji Cama Place following a tip-off,” said ADC (South West) Akanksha Yadav.

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).
