Hisar, June 24

A tantrik has been booked for allegedly sexually assaulting a woman on the pretext of warding off evil spirits in a village falling under the jurisdiction of the Jakhal police station in Fatehabad district today.

The police said the woman, who had not been keeping well for some time, approached the tantrik, identified as Subhash, for help.

The woman complained to the police that in September 2022, when she went to the tantrik, he gave her something to drink, after which she lost consciousness. He sexually assaulted her and also clicked her photographs, which he used later to blackmail her.

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).
