New Delhi, March 23

A 54-year-old peon, who worked at an MCD-run school, was arrested for raping a Class V student along with his associates after sedating her, the police said on Thursday. The man was identified as Ajay, a native of Jaunpur in Uttar Pradesh. He lived in Ghaziabad.

Efforts are being made to nab his associates, they said.

The police said Ajay had been working as a peon at the Municipal Corporation of Delhi-run school for the last 10 years.

No immediate response was available from the MCD.

According to the police, the incident took place on March 14. Since the incident, the girl had stopped going to school and also skipped her final exams.

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).
