A minor girl was allegedly sexually assaulted and abandoned in a field in Aluva area of central Kerala in the early hours of Thursday, police said.

The child, reportedly the daughter of migrant workers, was traced from the paddy field by neighbours who reached the spot after hearing her cries.

She has been admitted to the Government Medical College Hospital, Kalamassery.

Her condition is stable, police said.

Launching an investigation, police said the culprit is suspected to be from the area, and his identity could be confirmed only after an investigation.

The incident came to light when the neighbours heard the cries of the girl while she was being allegedly abducted by the culprit in the wee hours.

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).
