The fast-track special court (exclusive under POCSO Act) of Additional District and Sessions Judge Narender on Friday awarded 20-year rigorous imprisonment (RI) to a man for raping a 13-year-old girl. The court has also imposed a fine of Rs 52,000 upon the convict. The court has ordered that Rs 40,000 be given to the victim out of the fine amount. Special Public Prosecutor Vijender Singh said the incident was reported to the Sector 27 police station on December 18, 2023. The mother of the victim, in her complaint to the Sector 27 police, said one Ravi, alias Mukul, of Muzaffarnagar in Uttar Pradesh had raped her minor daughter. The accused also threatened to kill the victim if she told anyone about the incident, the mother alleged.

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).
