The court of Additional Session Judge Ashwani Kumar on Tuesday sentenced a convict to 20-year rigorous imprisonment and imposed a fine of Rs 40,000 on him in the case of raping a minor in 2021.

According to the police, on February 9, 2021, a complaint was received at the West women’s police station regarding a minor girl being raped after being lured.

An FIR was registered under relevant sections of the POCSO Act at the police station.

The police had arrested the accused, identified as Mohammad Taj, alias Rahul, of Bicchor village in Nuh district, on February 19, 2021.

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).
