The Court of Aarti Singh, Additional Sessions Judge, sentenced a man to four-year rigorous imprisonment (RI) for sexually harassing a minor girl.

The fast-track court, constituted under the POCSO Act, held Jagpal of Shahzadpur guilty under Section 8 of the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences Act, and Sections 323 and 509 of the IPC. He has been sentenced to four year of rigorous imprisonment and fined Rs 3,000 under Section 8 of the POCSO Act, sentenced for 1 year under Section 323 of the IPC, and jailed for one year and fined Rs 2,000 under Section 509 of the IPC. The sentences will run concurrently.

A case was registered against Jagpal in 2018 on a complaint of the victim’s mother. The complainant had alleged that Jagpal had been sexually harassing her 10-year-old daughter on her way to school and back to home.

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).
