Rasham Singh, an accused in a Narcotics Drugs and Psychotic Substances (NDPS) Act case, fled from the court after he was remanded to judicial custody.

The 23‑year‑old, released on bail by the high court, appeared before the local trial court today to surrender, after having missed several previous hearing dates.

He hails from Kotdhar village in Shimla. A search has been initiated to nab him, informed Solan SP Gaurav Singh.

The Dharampur police had recovered 22.48g heroin from him on May 23, 2020, following which he was booked under Section 21, 29 of the NDPS Act.

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).
