The Gidderbaha police have arrested three persons, including a father-son duo, after a youngster allegedly died of drug overdose on Friday.

The deceased Parveen Kumar’s uncle Ved Parkash from Chughe Kala village in Bathinda lodged a complaint, alleging that his nephew was found sitting on the stairs of his shop near the bus stand in Gidderbaha and was having difficulty in breathing.

“Parveen told me that Jasvir Singh and his father, Jagjit Singh, from Ward 5 in Gidderbaha, had administered some drug to him. He informed me that earlier too the duo, along with Gurpreet Singh, from Lulbai Road in Gidderbaha had administered drugs to him,” alleged Ved.

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).
