Yamunanagar, November 13

A fast-track special court in Jagadhri here has sentenced a man to 20-year rigorous imprisonment under the POCSO Act for abducting, sexually abusing and marrying a minor girl.

The court also imposed a fine of Rs 1.10 lakh on convict Ikhlas Mohammad (23) of Mamliwala village in Yamunanagar district.

As per the judgment of the court delivered on November 10, Ikhlas was convicted for the commission of offences punishable under Sections 366, 376(2)(n), 506, 201, 468, 471, 420 of the IPC and various sections of the POCSO Act.

On the complaint of the father of the victim, a case was registered against Ikhlas Mohammad at the Bilaspur police station on August 30, 2020.

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).
