Faridabad, September 26

The police have arrested a man convicted in a rape case after 19 years.

Krishna (42), alias Kishan, hailing from Berhampur district of West Bengal, had been at large since 2003 after he got a bail from court, but failed to report back since then.

He was convicted of raping a minor in 2000 and was sentenced to 10 years’ jail. He had spent three years in prison. However, he had been at large after he got bail in the case in 2003. The term of his imprisonment was reduced to seven years by the High Court, it was revealed. Arrested on Saturday, he was sent to judicial custody. The police had announced a reward of Rs 5,000 on him.

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).
