Patiala, November 27

The special cell of the Patiala police arrested a person under the NDPS Act.

The suspect, identified as Bikramjeet Singh of Rajpura, was found in possession of 5,000 Tramadol tablets, a prescription opioid-based drug that can be misused by drug addicts as intoxicant.

The police said during a random checking of vehicles near Mehmadpur village on the Rajpura-Ambala road on the intervening night of November 25 and 26, they stopped a car. On checking the vehicles, cops found around 5,000 Tramadol pills in it.

A case under Section 22 of the NDPS Act was registered against the suspect, who was driving the vehicle.

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).
