A migrant youth from Assam was lynched by a mob in Roing town in Arunachal Pradesh’s Lower Dibang Valley for allegedly molesting several girls, police said.

The 19-year-old man was arrested on Thursday after it came to light that he had allegedly molested several students at a school.

The parents of the girls had nabbed the youth and handed him over to the police.

However, a day later, a mob barged into the police station, dragged the youth outside and killed him by thrashing him.

He used to work at a construction site near the school, police said.

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).
