Dera Bassi, May 13

The police have booked an unidentified man for allegedly raping a 16-year-old girl and impregnating her in Mubarikpur.

On a complaint filed by the victim’s mother, a migrant labourer, a case has been registered at the Dera Bassi police station. The complainant stated that she had three children. Her 16-year-old daughter suddenly had pain in stomach after which they took her to the hospital where the doctors told her she was pregnant. The victim told the doctors that she had been raped by an unknown person a few months ago after which he fled to Bihar.

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).
