Abohar, June 17

The police yesterday arrested a Punjab Police ASI and his accomplice with 30-gm heroin. A case under the NDPS Act has been registered against them.

Beant Singh, an ASI at Muktsar, and his accomplice Rajinder Singh were arrested after a team of the special task force from Muktsar intercepted a car near Kailash Nagar here.

While Beant was arrested and remanded in police custody for two days, Rajinder managed to flee.

In another case, the police arrested two persons on the Hanumangarh mega highway and recovered 800-gm heroin from their possession. They have been identified as Bablu Jat (26) of Sujangarh and Gopal Jat (38) of Jaswantgarh and booked under the NDPS Act.

Meanwhile, the police seized over 250 bottles of illicit liquor in separate cases.

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).
