Gurugram, June 28

The police have arrested a drug peddler for transporting marijuana to Gurugram in a cab after he booked it through the Ola app. A team of the crime unit arrested the accused in the Sector 37 area and seized over 16 kg of marijuana.

According to the police, the accused has been identified as Shobha Kant, native of Chapra in Bihar and living as a tenant at Mohammadpur village. The cab driver, Kalu, resident of Tihar village in Delhi, told the police that he was not aware about the marijuana which was packed in two bags. He said the accused had booked the cab online and he had only come to drop him at the location.

The police let the cab driver go. A case has been registered.

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).
