The special POCSO court of Additional Sessions Judge Neeru Kamboj of Nuh has sentenced a man to five years of imprisonment and imposed a fine of Rs 13,000 for sharing obscene pictures in a WhatsApp group during a school’s online class.

In January 2022, during an online session on a school's WhatsApp group, the accused, Ashiq from Badarpur village in Nuh district, joined the group under the pretence of being a parent. Once added, he shared explicit images and engaged in inappropriate chats with the teacher.

After teacher reported the incident, the school administration filed a complaint at the women's police station in Nuh, leading to the accused's arrest on January 29, 2022.

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).
