The Sadar police have booked one Samuel Masih, a resident of Tarn Taran, for attempting to sexually abuse a teenage girl of a nearby village.

The accused trespassed the residence of the victim as she was alone in the house. The statement of the victim’s side has been recorded by Inspector Narinder Kaur, in-charge of the women’s cell.

The police said that as the victim was alone in the house, the accused molested her and made a rape bid. The incident took place on September 24 and the case was registered the next day, on September 25, but the accused has not been arrested yet. The accused has been booked under Section 74 of the Bharatiry Nyaya Sanhita and under provisions of the POCSO Act, on Wednesday by the Sadar police.

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).
