Panchkula, March 3

An unknown person has been booked on a charge of creating a fake Instagram account of a minor girl.

According to the FIR, the victim’s father told the police that the suspect had also shared her thirteen-and-a-half-year-old daughter’s mobile number through the Instagram ID to various men, who were now sending objectionable photos and porn videos to her on WhatsApp.

“Someone probably from her school or a classmate has created a fake and objectionable Instagram profile,” the victim’s father suspected.

“Kindly investigate the matter and find out who has created the fake Instagram ID to defame and demoralise my daughter,” reads the FIR. A case has been filed under Sections 66C and 67A of the Information Technology Act at the Sector 5 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).
