Chandigarh, September 24

More than a year after two FIRs were registered at a police station in Rohtak alleging abetment to suicide and rape, the Punjab and Haryana High Court has handed over the probe to the CBI. The trial court concerned at Rohtak has been directed to transmit “all records” to the competent Special Court of the CBI

in Panchkula.

The directions by Justice Manjari Nehru Kaul came on a bunch of eight petitions. During the course of hearing, the Bench observed that one FIR was registered on June 7, 2022, for abetment to suicide and other offences, while the other was registered on July 2, 2022, for rape and other offences. Both cases were registered at the city police station in Rohtak.

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).
