A 25-year-old man was booked for allegedly raping his 16-year-old minor sister for several years.

The accused was reportedly raping his sister since the age of nine. ACP Cantt said a case under Sections 506 and 376 of the IPC and under the POCSO Act 2012 had been registered against him. The suspect had reportedly fled to Malaysia two year ago and a lookout notice has been issued against him. The matter came to the light when the girl revealed her ordeal to a female lawyer.

According to the victim, her brother had started making physical relationship with her since the age of nine. At first she did not know anything, however as she got older, she came to know that her brother was doing wrong things with her. She said her brother used to torture her and threatened her that if she complained against him, he would kill her. — TNS

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).
