The Special Task Force wing of the Ludhiana police nabbed two persons with 5.3 kg heroin here. The police also seized Rs 2.10 lakh in drug money, a Jeep and a motorcycle from the alleged smugglers.

The suspects have been identified as Jagjit Singh Idu, 31, of Sunet and Harminder Singh Pannu, 30, of Aman Nagar. Mandeep, alias Pistoli, of Salem Tabri fled the scene.

Mandeep owns a gym supplements shop at the grain market in Salem Tabri, while Jagjit runs a gym at Sunet village. The suspects have been in the drug trade for a long time.

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).
