Three persons were arrested and a minor detained for allegedly gangraping a 20-year-old collegian in Anuppur district in Madhya Pradesh, a police official said on Sunday.

The incident took place when she was returning from college and walking towards her home at 6pm on Saturday after alighting from an auto rickshaw, Rajendragram police station in-charge Virendra Kumar said.

"The accused Hemraj Singh (23) stopped her enroute, and his three associates pulled her behind the trees nearby, after which all four gangraped her. On her complaint, we arrested Hemraj Singh, Nepal Singh (20) and Jitendra Singh (25) and detained the fourth accused — who is a minor," he said.

They have been charged under Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita for gangrape, abduction and criminal intimidation, the official 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).
