Chandigarh, September 29

A 24-year-old man has been arrested for molesting two minor sisters aged nine and eight. The suspect has been identified as Rohit Kumar, a resident of Phase I, Ram Darbar. The complainant had reported that his daughters had gone to play when a person molested them yesterday.

His elder daughter told him that the suspect touched her and burned her shoulder with a cigarette before she managed to escape. The younger sister was also molested by the suspect.

The police were informed about the incident, following which a case under Sections 354 and 354-A of the IPC and 8 &12 of the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) Act was registered at the Sector 31 police station.

During investigation, the suspect was arrested. He was produced before the court that sent him to judicial custody.

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).
