One person was apprehended for questioning after Rs 35 lakh was seized from a private car in Kathua district on Monday, police said.

This was the second major cash seizure from a car in the district bordering Punjab within a week. On February 18, two youth from Kashmir were taken into custody after Rs 3.36 crore was seized from their car at Lakhanpur.

In the latest case, a police party intercepted a car bearing a Delhi registration number at Baghthali village on the Jammu-Pathankot highway and seized a bag containing Rs 35,08,800, officials said.

The driver abandoned the car and managed to escape, while another occupant present in the vehicle was detained for questioning, they said. The income-tax department has been informed and further investigation is underway, the officials 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).
