The Patti city police have arrested a man in connection with assaulting the 10-year-old daughter of his wife, her child from her first marriage. The mother of the victim, in her statement recorded with lady sub- inspector Manpreet Kaur, said being a sweeper, she used to go for duty from morning till late in the evening. The accused, named as Jagtar Singh Gokha of Patti city, had been frequently assaulting the girl.

A few days back, the victim elaborated the story to her mother who approached the Patti city police. The police said that the victim was medically examined by a board of doctors and the physical assault has been confirmed. The accused have been booked under section 64 (2), 351 (2) of the BNS and Section 4 of POCSO Act.

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).
