The NIA has charge-sheeted a Punjab-based person for allegedly trafficking narcotic substances and smuggling weapons from Pakistan. The NIA filed a supplementary chargesheet against accused Gurmej Singh, alias Geju, of Kilche village in Ferozepur under Sections 18, 20 and 38 of the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act, 29 of the NDPS Act, and 120 B of the IPC. Earlier, the NIA had charge-sheeted five terrorists in March last year.

The case pertains to smuggling of narcotic substances, weapons, explosive materials and IEDs (tiffin bombs) sent by accused Lakhbir Singh Rode, chief of banned terrorist outfit ISYF via drones. The smuggled consignments were received by ISYF cadres Darvesh Singh and Harmesh Singh and transferred to other members Gurmukh Singh and Gagandeep Singh. —

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).
