Close on the heels of the Kolkata doctor rape-and-murder case and the following outrage, a daily-wage labourer has been arrested after the body of a nurse working at a hospital in Udham Singh Nagar district of Uttarakhand was found recently from her village in the neighbouring UP.

Police said the nurse was raped and murdered by accused Dharmendra Kumar while she was returning home from hospital on July 30, reported The Indian Express.

A missing report was filed by her sister the next day as the woman did not return home.

On August 8, the Uttar Pradesh police found her body from an empty plot.

The accused had fled after the crime with the victim’s belongings, including her phone. The police traced her phone that led them to the accused.

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).
