Panchkula, May 14

The local police have arrested a person who was booked under POCSO Act for molesting a minor girl on May 12.

The suspect has been identified as Rakesh, a resident of Rajiv Colony, near Sector 17, Panchkula. He was arrested on Friday and produced in a court, which remanded him in judicial custody.

In a complaint to the Sector 16 police post on Thursday, the victim’s father had stated that the suspect took his daughter, who was playing outside, to his house and molested her. He said his daughter narrated the incident to them on returning home. A case under the IPC and the POCSO Act was registered against the suspect.

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).
