On suspicion, the police apprehended the two men. Upon a search, the police found 109 tablets in their possession. The duo was arrested by the police. The two accused have been identified as Sonu Singh, resident of village Toti at Sultanpur Lodhi in Kapurthala, and Amritpal Singh, resident of Phul Ghudduwal village at Lohian in Jalandhar. Along with 109 tablets, the police also impounded the motorbike.

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).
