Eyewitnesses said the girl scaled the boundary wall of her house and the factory wall before jumping into the tank. Her dupatta got entangled in barbed wires, drawing people’s attention. Residents informed her family members, who also worked at the factory.

Girl’s father Sanjay Mehta said the suspect, a married man, had been harassing his daughter for several months.

"He was pressuring her to marry him despite her repeated refusals. I had warned him many times, but he did not stop,” he alleged, adding that the persistent harassment forced his daughter to take the extreme step.

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).
