A 42-year-old woman, working as the HR head at a private company filed a complaint with the police, alleging that an autorickshaw driver molested her and that she had to jump from the moving auto to save her life. She added the driver also tried to snatch her laptop and later sent her obscene messages.

No FIR has been registered.

The woman had booked an auto on the Rapido app for her house on Thursday evening at 6.30 pm from Basai Chowk.

She has provided the police with the screenshots of the messages. She added the accused seemed drunk. A senior police officer said that the company had suspended the suspect from its panel.

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).
