The crime branch of the city police claimed to have nabbed a drug peddler who was allegedly involved in the illicit trade and smuggling of drugs and narcotics for a long time

100 grams of heroin and a motorcycle was seized from the accused, identified as Ashish Kumar of Sarpanch Colony, Meharban village.

Ludhiana Commissioner of Police Swapan Sharma said a team of officials, led by crime branch incharge Beant Juneja, nabbed the accused while he was waiting for a client on the Kailash Nagar-Basti Jodhewal road on Monday.

Preliminary investigations revealed that the accused worked at a private factory and hunted for drug consumers among labourers.

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).
