The Gurugram police have arrested a drug peddler and seized 2.681 kg ganja from his possession, confirmed a police spokesperson.

A police team led by SI Rajesh Kumar, in-charge of the Sikanderpur crime branch, apprehended the suspect near the Nissan service centre in Khandsa village.

Preliminary investigations identified the arrested peddler as Subhakanta Tiwari, alias Pandit, a resident of Pati Sheetal village in Chhapra district of Bihar.

A criminal case has been registered at the Sadar police station here under the NDPS Act’s relevant sections, said SI Rajesh Kumar. The peddler will be produced in judicial court to seek police remand for further interrogation, aiming to uncover the contraband’s source and intended recipients.

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).
