A drug peddler was arrested here on Sunday following an exchange of fire, in which he sustained a bullet injury, a police officer said.

The accused, identified as Balwinder Singh, alias Balli, sustained a bullet injury in retaliating firing by the police at Manne Wala Road in Jalalabad town of Fazilka.

Senior Superintendent of Police (SSP) Varinder Singh Brar said Balwinder, a resident of Aggarwal Colony, Jalalabad, was involved in selling narcotics in the area.

The police officer said the accused had already been facing an NDPS Act case for smuggling 1.8 kg heroin.

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).
