Tarn Taran, June 29

Ashpinderjit Kaur (20), daughter of Arjinder Singh, a resident of Dhotian village here, on Wednesday lodged a complaint with the Sarhali police against her husband and her father-in-law for torturing her for dowry.

The accused have been identified as Gurpreet Singh and his father Baljinder Singh of Thathi Sohal. In her complaint, the victim alleged that the accused had been torturing her for dowry, more so as her visa for Australia was delayed.

They started harassing her mentally and physically and also concealed her jewellery and other articles which she was gifted by her parents at the time of her marriage. She alleged the accused deliberately misplaced her passport. A case under Sections 498-A, 406, and 201 of the IPC had been registered against the accused. The accused were absconding, said investigating officer Sub-Inspector Iqbal 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).
