Additional District Judge (ADJ) Ajay Prashar has sentenced a man, convicted in the case of sexual assault on a minor girl, to 20 years in jail and also imposed a fine of Rs 25,000 on him in Bhiwani district.

The accused identified as Kaptan, a resident of Kirawar village in Bhiwani district, lured the minor girl and took her to an isolated place where she was sexually assaulted by him.

A case was registered at the Tosham police station after the incident last year under Sections 4 of the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) Act and Sections 363, 366, 323 and 506 of the IPC.

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).
