The court of Additional Sessions Judge Jasmine Sharma on Thursday while convicting an accused for raping a minor on the pretext of marriage, sentenced him to 20 years of rigorous imprisonment (RI).

According to the police, on June 16 in 2021, a man had filed a complaint at the Sector 9A police station that a man was forcing a physical relation on his 15-year-old daughter on the pretext of marriage. Following the complaint, an FIR was registered and the police arrested the accused, Yuraj Mondal, a native of West Bengal.

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).
