Tarn Taran, June 16

The police have booked a brother and his married sister for abducting a 15-year-old girl on the pretext of marriage from Benwalipur village here. The victim was abducted around two weeks ago.

Gurbhej Singh of Chohal Sahib and his sister Kanwaljit Kaur of Benwalipur village were booked under Sections 363 and 366-A of the IPC by the Sarhali police on Thursday.

A complaint in this regard was lodged with the police by the father of the victim. The complainant said the accused, Gurbhej Singh, in connivance with his sister abducted his daughter by luring her on the pretext of marriage. ASI Dilbag Singh said after registering a case, the police have initiated further proceedings to locate the missing girl and arrest 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).
