Chandigarh, February 12

The UT police arrested a Jalandhar-based businessman on the charge of raping his estranged wife. He was produced in a court on Friday and sent to judicial custody.

The complainant, a city-based college teacher, said she got married in 2019. Her husband and in-laws started demanding dowry soon after the marriage. She alleged that her brother-in-law molested her and the family forced her to terminate her pregnancy. In June 2021, they left her at her parents’ house.

A month later, the businessman called her on the pretext of resolving their differences but he raped her. A case has been registered against the husband, his parents, sister and her husband at the Women 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).
