Phagwara, November 11

The Shahkot police have booked two villagers on the charge of outraging a woman’s modesty.

Investigating Officer (IO) Lakhbir Singh said the suspects had been identified as Shingara Singh and his brother Saabi, residents of Bajwa Kalan village.

The victim, a resident of the same village, complained to the police the suspects ransacked the shed in front of her house and barged inside. They assaulted her and dragged her by pulling her hair.

The Investigating Officer said a case under Sections 354, 323, 458, 427 and 34 of the IPC had been registered against the suspects. No arrest had been made so far. Raids were being conducted to nab the absconding suspects.

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).
