In the first case, a team of the Sector 19 crime branch arrested a Kalka resident from the Rambagh road in Kalka and seized 1.2 kg contraband from him.

Inspector Karambir, in-charge of the Sector 19 crime branch, said while they were patrolling the area around 5.40 pm yesterday, they noticed a youth coming from the crematorium side. “He had a carry bag in his left hand.
