The Delhi Police have arrested two Afghan nationals for allegedly running a drug syndicate. The accused have been identified as Hashimi Mohammad Waris (19) and Abdul Nayib. A raid was conducted on Saturday in Tilak Nagar after they received a tip-off and arrested Waris and Nayib. They seized 400 gm of heroin and 160 gm of cocaine from their possession, Deputy Commissioner of Police (crime) Amit Goel said. Waris has been living in India on refugee status since January 2020. His family is in Afghanistan. After arriving in India, he worked at a chemist shop as a helper. He entered into the drugs business when his friend asked him to collect consignments from different people in Delhi.

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).
