Kolkata, September 8

Three persons, including the director and principal of a blind school and children’s home in Kolkata’s Haridevpur area, were arrested on Thursday following complaints of rape of a minor girl at the institute, police said.

The minor was allegedly raped repeatedly over 10 years at the safe home, they said.

The director, principal and cook of the institute were arrested earlier in the day, a police officer said.

The inmates have been shifted to a safe place after the allegations surfaced, he said.

Further investigation is under way.

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).
