After much delay, the Chabal police have booked a man who had allegedly molested a teenage girl at Mianpur village falling under the Chabal police station here.

The victim in her statement to Sub-Inspector Kiranpal Kaur stated that on the evening of March 7, she had gone to a chemist’s shop where the accused allegedly molested her.

The victim and her family had to make several rounds of the police station to get the case registered against the accused. A case under Section 75 of the BNS and Section 8 of the POCSO Act was registered against the suspect by the police on Wednesday.

The victim’s family expressed anguish over the delay in the registration of the case and not arresting the accused as yet.

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).
