Panchkula, June 21

The Panchkula police have booked its own official for allegedly making obscene gestures at a woman and beating her up.

The suspect is a Head Constable, identified as Vikramjeet (38). He is posted in the proclaimed offender unit of the district police and is yet to be arrested.

The victim, who hails from Shimla, alleged that she had come to Panchkula for some official work.

”It was late Friday night when I, along with my sister-in-law and two children, was walking in a hotel park in Sector 21. The cop was not wearing his uniform and was under the influence of alcohol. He made vulgar gestures at me and then came near me, harassed me and then beat me up,” the complainant told the police. — TNS

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).
