Three minors have been detained for allegedly luring and sexually assaulting a nine-year-old child on a secluded rooftop, the police said on Wednesday.

The incident came to light on November 4 when a relative of the child approached the police, alleging that the child had been sexually assaulted by three minors. One accused is 13-years-old while the other two are 16.

DCP (Central) Nidhin Valsan said the accused threatened the child with dire consequences if they disclosed the incident to anyone. The police stated that a case had been registered under Section 6 of the POCSO Act.

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).
