Solan, February 11

Additional District and Sessions Judge Parvinder Singh Arora has sentenced Munna Kumar Singh, a resident of Bihar district, to 25 years of rigorous imprisonment (RI) in a rape case. Passing the judgment through the Solan fast-track court, Arora also slapped a penalty of Rs 26,000 on the convict. The minor victim would be paid 50 per cent of the penalty amount as compensation.

The case pertains to July 2020. A case under Section 376 and 342 of the IPC and Section 4 (2) of the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) Act, 2012, was registered at Barotiwala. Five witnesses were examined by the prosecution in support of the case.

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).
