A suspected hardcore criminal was arrested after a 9-mm pistol and 25 gm of heroin were seized from him on Monday, the police here said.

Panku Raja, a resident of Kotli Mian Fateh in Miran Sahib, has 12 FIRs registered against him, a police spokesperson said.

Raja, who was recently released after completing his detention under the Public Safety Act, was apprehended during a raid in the Bishnah area on the city’s outskirts.

A fresh case has been registered and further investigation is underway to trace the network behind the narcotics and the illegal weapon, the spokesperson said. The police remain committed to maintaining law and order and are taking strict action against criminals to ensure the safety and security of the public, he added.

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).
