New Delhi, April 19

A court here has convicted a man of committing aggravated penetrative sexual assault and impregnating his minor step daughter, saying the evidence on record established that the accused repeatedly raped her.

Additional Sessions Judge Babita Puniya was hearing the case against the step father, who was accused of raping the girl in May 2019.

He was booked under penal provisions of rape and Section 6 POCSO Act. Special Public Prosecutor Sharawan Kumar Bishnoi appeared for the prosecution.

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).
