Hamirpur, September 7

An accused was convicted of raping a minor in the district and awarded 20 years of rigorous imprisonment here today.

The convict, Deepak Patial, was booked under Sections 363, 376 and 506 of the IPC at Barsar police station. It was alleged that he took the victim to a hotel and raped her.

SP Akriti Sharma said the Special Court (POCSO) also announced a fine of Rs 50,000 under Section 4 of the POCSO Act.

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).
