The Delhi Police arrested a drug peddler and seized 461 grams of heroin worth Rs 1.10 crore and illegal firearms from him in Shahdara here, an official said on Wednesday.

The police said Mohammad Asif Chaudhary (33) from New Seelampur was apprehended and a 9mm pistol, along with live cartridges, was seized from him.

On February 4, the police received a tip-off about the transportation of heroin near a hotel in Anand Vihar, the official said. A trap was laid near the hotel and the suspect was apprehended, he 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).
