Upon seeing the police party, the man threw the bag and tried to flee. He was nabbed, and upon being questioned by the police, he revealed his name as Boota Singh, alias Pepsi, a resident of Bode village in Bilga. The polythene being carried by the man upon being serached was found to have 150 intoxicating tablets.

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).
