The woman, who lived in Delhi, claimed she met Jaiveer in August 2018, when she was going to meet her friend in Rewari and he had come to pick her up from the bus stand. “We stayed in touch and on November 20, 2019, he assured he would talk to his family about marriage. On August 22, 2020, he took me to a hotel in Sector 14, where he assaulted and raped me,” the victim said in her complaint. —

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).
