Mohali, December 25

The police have arrested four more persons in the rape and murder case of a minor in Kurali on Saturday.

A 17-year-old girl was raped and found murdered in a sugarcane field at Jhandemajra village of Kurali on her birthday on December 22. The police had then arrested Gursewak Singh, 25, of Mullanpur for the crime.

Now, Gursewak’s mother and sister, along with two friends Balkar and Sarabjit, have been arrested in the case.

The police said Gursewak worked in a private bank and had come in contact with the girl through social media.

The family had tried to destroy the evidence. Gursewak’s brother-in-law was still absconding, said the 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).
