A 62-year-old man was arrested for allegedly raping a minor girl in Pillanji village of southwest Delhi, an official said on Sunday.

The official said the police received information from Safdarjung Hospital on February 6 about a pregnant minor undergoing medical examination, adding that a police team reached the hospital and collected medical documents.

“Initially, the girl claimed that she was in a consensual relationship with a boy for a year. However, upon further questioning, she revealed that her neighbour had sexually assaulted her four months ago. She stated that he took her to his room and raped her,” said the police officer.

The man allegedly threatened her of dire consequences, leading her to initially provide false information to doctors out of fear. A case was registered and the accused was arrested.

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).
