The Ludhiana police arrested two youths, Karan Kalra and Gurmeet Singh, for possessing 260 gm of heroin. The arrest was made by the crime branch team based on a tip-off. The suspects were stopped while travelling in an Innova car near Global Hospital on Ferozepur Road on January 28.

According to ADCP Amandeep Singh Brar, the police team was on patrol when they spotted the suspects in the car. Upon searching the vehicle, they discovered 260 gm of heroin.

The accused were booked under the NDPS Act and are currently on a four-day police remand for further investigation. The police are now investigating how the accused acquired the heroin and their intended destination for distribution. Authorities are also probing whether the accused have used money earned from drug trafficking to invest in properties.

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).
