Jalandhar, June 18

The staff of the city police have arrested a proclaimed offender (PO) Sukhwinder Singh wanted in connection with a drug smuggling case. The suspect is a native of Tarn Taran.

A case was registered against him under Sections 15, 61 and 85 of the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances (NDPS) Act at Police Division No.8 in 2020. He remained at large for more than two years. A local court declared him a PO in March this year.

The cops nabbed him at his residence following a tip-off. Sukhwinder is a habitual offender, with three different cases under various sections of the Indian Penal Code, the Arms Act and the NDPS Act registered against him at the Jalandhar rural police station and the Navi Baradari police station.

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).
