Gurugram, June 16

The Gurugram police conducted a search operation following a tip-off about illegal drugs being sold in slums near the Basai road.

They seized an iron box full of cash, over Rs 12 lakh, and silver jewellery from two shanties under Section 102 of the CrPC.

Police spokesperson Subhash Bokan said a notice would be sent, asking slum dwellers about the cash and jewellery. Further action will be taken as per the law, he added.

A crime branch team conducted the search operation on Friday afternoon.

“During the search, the police did not find illegal drugs but silver jewellery from two shanties. An old iron box was also found, which was filled with Rs 500, Rs 200, Rs 100 and Rs 50 notes, amounting to Rs 12.80 lakh. The weight of the silver jewellery was found to be 4 kg 370 grams,” added Boken.

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).
