The police yesterday arrested Kuldeep Kumar (50) of Metta village under the Gangath police chowki in Nurpur on the charge of raping a resident of the same village.

After preliminary investigation, the police produced the accused in court, which remanded him in judicial custody for 14 days. As per police information, the accused stopped the woman, mother of four children, on Friday morning when she was going to the fields.

He allegedly raped her and fled from the spot after threatening her not to disclose the incident to anyone. The Nurpur police registered a case and arrested the accused. The medical examination of the victim was conducted at the civil hospital in Nurpur. According to the police, the accused and victim were relatives.

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).
