Tarn Taran, February 21

The police on Saturday booked five members of a family for abducting a teenage girl on the pretext of marrying her. The incident happened on Friday. They were neighbours of the girl.

The accused had been identified as Harpreet Singh, his father Tarsem Singh, mother Ninder Kaur, brother Yadwinder Singh and his wife Amandeep Kaur.

In her complaint to the Khemkaran police, the victim’s mother stated that one of the accused, Ninder Kaur, came to their house on Friday evening and took her daughter for facemask work. Then Ninder in connivance with other members of the family abducted her daughter and took her to some unknown destination.

The police said a case under Sections 363, 366-A and 120-B of the IPC had been registered against the accused.

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).
