Small screen actor Madenuru Manu, who shot to fame with his performance in ‘Comedy Khiladi’, was arrested in an alleged sexual harassment case on Thursday, police said.

Based on a complaint by a 33-year-old co-actor, an FIR was registered against Manu under various sections of the Bharatiya Nyay Sanhita pertaining to rape, cheating and criminal intimidation.

Later, the actor was arrested.

The co-actor alleged that Manu had exploited her on the pretext of marriage and forced abortion twice.

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).
