Chandigarh, July 2

Two persons have been booked by the local police for allegedly raping a minor girl.

The victim, aged around 17, reported that she had come in contact with the suspect, Majid Khan, a resident of Maloya, who had promised to help her in getting a job.

She alleged that he raped her in a forest area in Sector 56 on April 8.

Two weeks later, he again asked her to meet him and took her to a hotel in Sector 20, where he gave her a cold drink laced with sedatives after which he and his friend raped her.

The suspects allegedly made her objectionable video and threatened her not to disclose the incident to anyone.

She approached the police following which a case was registered against the two at the Sector 39 police station.

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).
