Mumbai, February 6

Mumbai Police seized mephedrone, a banned drug, worth more than Rs 40 lakh following a raid in Mazgaon area of the city on Monday, an official said.

The police also apprehended a person from the spot for enquiry, the official said.

Based on a specific information, the Mumbai Crime Branch’s Anti-Narcotics Cell conducted the raid at Navanagar in Mazgaon area and seized the drug, he said.

Mephedrone, also known as MD, is a synthetic stimulant and banned under the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances (NDPS) Act.

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).
