Jaipur, August 4
Nearly a year after a 20-year-old pregnant woman was stripped and paraded naked in Rajasthan, a district court has sentenced 14 men, including her husband, to seven-year imprisonment while noting that it was a “heinous crime” similar to the one committed in Manipur. Pratapgarh Chief Judicial Magistrate Ramkanya Soni on Saturday also sentenced three women involved in the case to five-year imprisonment, said Special Public Prosecutor Manish Nagar.
While observing that women are revered in the country as goddesses and that the ancient scriptures also mentioned honouring women, he said atrocities were continuing against women in ‘Kalyug’. “Similar heinous crime was committed in Manipur. Such crimes cause emotional hurt to the women,” the judge said in the order. — PTI

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).
