A 38-year-old Russian woman was allegedly raped by a tourist in Manali on Sunday night.

According to police, the crime was committed by 23-year-old Alexander Lee Jiya Jun, a native of Singapore.

Kullu SP Gurdev Chand Sharma said the woman alleged that on Sunday evening, the accused called her to his hotel room and raped her.

The woman, along with her mother, has been living in Manali for the past few days.

The SP said the accused had been arrested under Section 376 of the IPC. He would be produced before a court to seek his police remand, he added.

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).
