Chandigarh, June 29

Just over a month after an FIR was registered for the alleged sexual exploitation of an activist at the Tikri border in Bahadurgarh during her stay to participate in the farmers’ agitation, the Punjab and Haryana High Court today “dismissed” the anticipatory bail plea of an accused.

In his petition placed before the Bench of Justice Jasgurpreet Singh Puri, accused Ankur submitted that he was being unnecessarily harassed and humiliated by the police even though his name was not mentioned at any stage by the victim or her father in the complaint.

The FIR was registered on May 9 at the Bahadurgarh city police station. — TNS

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).
