Hamirpur, June 6

A man was arrested from Saharanpur in UP for allegedly raping a minor, who is now pregnant.

An FIR against him was registered at the women’s police station on May 28 following a complaint by the 15-year-old victim’s mother.

She alleged that the accused raped his minor daughter twice. The matter came to light when the girl complained of stomach ache and was later found pregnant.

SP Arjit Sen Thakur said the accused had fled the state before the nationwide lockdown. He was traced to Saharanpur in UP and a team was dispatched to arrest him.

He was brought back here on Thursday. The medical examination of the accused had been conducted and further investigation was on, said the SP.

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).
