A 12-year-old boy sustained eardrum injury after he was allegedly slapped by a manager in a private school for poor handwriting in the Khajuri Khas area of northeast Delhi, officials said.

According to the police, the matter was reported on July 20 after the boy complained of pain in his ear and told his parents that he was allegedly slapped by the school principal’s son over poor handwriting.

“We registered an FIR and launched an investigation into the matter. But we got to know that the family members had settled the matter with the school administration,” a senior police officer said.

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).
