Police on Monday arrested a suspected criminal during a routine patrol in Jammu district and seized 2 kg of ganja and an illegal weapon from his possession, officials said.

Bhuvan Prasad Kewat, a native of Chhattisgarh, was travelling to Bhagatpur via Ring Road when he tried to flee after seeing the police, but the alert cops caught him on the spot, the officials said.

A search of his bag led to the recovery of about 2 kg of ganja and a pistol, they said.

Police are probing the source of the contraband and the involvement of others in the supply chain after booking Kewat under the relevant sections of the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances Act and Arms Act, 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).
