Phagwara, March 2

The Nakodar Sadar police have booked three members of an in-laws’ family for dowry harassment, cruelty and committing the crime with common intention.

Investigating officer (IO) Amrik Singh said the accused have been identified as Nachhtar Pal, his father Malkit Singh and his mother Kulwindar Kaur.

The victim had complained to the police that she used to be harassed for dowry and that her in-laws used to torture her and thrash her.

She said in her complaint that her husband often sodomised her, filmed her while she used to bathe, and that other members of the in-laws’ family were complicit in the torture she faced.

The IO said a case has been under Sections 498-A, 377 and 34 of the IPC and further investigation is under way.

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).
