Srinagar, February 12

The police arrested three youth on Saturday for abducting and sexually assaulting a minor girl in Srinagar.

She was taken away while she was returning home from the tuition centre in Bemina locality on Friday. As she stopped her two-wheeler outside her home, the car-borne accused dragged her into their vehicle and drugged her, the police said. The car has been seized.

They have been identified as Basit Ali and Irfan Ahmad Najar of Parimpora Srinagar and Firdous Ahmad Ahanger of Beerwah, Budgam.

After medico-legal formalities were carried out, she was handed over to her family.

On Friday, two youths had attacked two girls with knives, leaving them with grievous injuries, during a robbery attempt. —

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).
