A local court here has acquitted seven accused in the Muzaffarnagar riots case due to lack of evidence, a counsel said on Sunday.

More than 60 people were killed in the communal riots of 2013 in Muzaffarnagar and Shamli. Additional District and Sessions Judge Kanishk Kumar said the prosecution failed to prove its case.

60-yr-old man held for ‘raping’ minor

Jajpur (Odisha): A 60-year-old man was arrested for allegedly raping a minor girl in Odisha’s Jajpur district, the police said on Sunday.

The 14-year-old Class 9 student had gone to the accused’s grocery shop, where he allegedly raped her. The elderly man then fled the spot, it said. The minor’s mother found her lying in an unconscious state.

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).
