The Delhi Police have arrested two men, hailing from Rajasthan, and claimed to have seized 21.6 kg of cannabis worth Rs 21.5 lakh from their possession, an official said on Thursday.

The accused were arrested from Vihar Mohan Garden area in Delhi on December 23, a police officer said. A police team found a car with two occupants in it parked in front of a junk yard. A search of the vehicle resulted in the recovery of 21.6 kg of cannabis, said the officer.

The duo was identified as Kamal Singh (33) and Ashok Kumar (26), residents of Rajasthan's Alwar, he said. Kamal is a history-sheeter and is facing charges in 25 cases involving the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances Act, Arms Act and attempt to murder, he added. Ashok, another addict, has a history of criminal activity with three prior cases of robbery and thefts, the officer 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).
