Mahendragarh: A Narnaul fast-track special court of Additional Sessions Judge KP Singh has awarded 20-year rigorous imprisonment (RI) to a man after convicting him in a case of kidnapping and raping a minor girl five years ago. It has also slapped a penalty of Rs 1.70 lakh on the convict. The district police spokesman said the victim’s family got a case registered against Shamsher Singh of Bahu Jhholari village (Jhajjar) in Kanina police station of the district in November 2019. “In the complaint, the family members alleged that the victim had been abducted by the accused but it was found during investigation that the accused had also raped her. Acting on the complaint, the accused was arrested after being booked under Sections 363, 366A of the IPC and Section 6 of the POCSO act,” he added.

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).
