Ambala, November 20

A case of a 19-year-old BA-I student from Naraingarh being drugged, raped, abused with casteist remarks and threatened with dire consequences was reported here on Wednesday.

The accused, a 20-year-old disco jockey, was arrested, said Naraingarh women police station SHO Sheela Wanti. He was sent to 14-day judicial remand by a local court.

The victim reported that the accused drugged and raped her in Munna Majra village near Naraingarh on October 31. When she regained consciousness, he abused her using casteist remarks and threatened her with dire consequences if she reported the matter.

The victim told her family members, who took her to the women police station. A case was registered under relevant sections of the IPC and SC/ST 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).
