The Haryana Human Rights Commission (HHRC) has asked the state government to pay a compensation of Rs 50,000 to a student of CR Jat College, Hisar, who was allegedly tortured in police custody.

Surya, who was the main accused in a case registered at Civil Lines police station in Hisar, was arrested from the college when he had gone to appear in his BA-III exam.

Surya’s father, Ajit Singh, later lodged a complaint with the National Human Rights Commission (NHRC). The NHRC transferred the complaint to the HHRC on January 24, 2019. — TNS

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).
