Jalandhar, January 23

The CIA staff of the city police nabbed a person and recovered 50 gm of heroin from his possession. The suspect has been identified as Rajesh Kumar (32), alias Sunny, a resident of Kabir Chowk near Garha in Jalandhar.

SI Ashok Kumar, in-charge of the CIA staff, said they were on a routine checking on the Baba Jagjivan Singh Chowk at Garha. They saw Rajesh coming on foot towards the chowk. On seeing the police, he got scared and turned back. On suspicion, the police nabbed him.

“When the police team frisked him, 50 gms of heroin was recovered from his possession,” he said. A case under Sections 21 of the NDPS Act has been registered against the suspect at the Division No. 7 police station. He said the suspect was today produced before a court, which sent him to police remand.

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).
