A family in Rampur Sunnra near Phagwara has alleged that the local police have suppressed a case involving the alleged sexual assault of a six-year-old child by a 15-year-old.

According to the family, rather than registering a formal case, Satnampura police reportedly closed the matter.

Resham Kaur, mother of the victim, told media here on Monday that her child was allegedly taken to a local gym by the older boy and assaulted. She added that the family intends to surround the SP office if no action is taken and has demanded the suspension of the officer who allegedly enforced the closure.

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).
