A man has been arrested for allegedly thrashing his 10-year-old son.

In her complaint to the police, a woman from Bapu Dham Colony, Sector 26, reported that her son Mohit Goyal thrashed her grandson on July 1. She tried to pacify her son but he didn’t stop from beating up the minor following which she informed 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).
