A shocking incident of sexual assault has been reported from the city, where a 17-year-old girl, a student of a cooking institute, was allegedly raped by her neighbour. The suspect, Jawraj Singh, took advantage of the girl’s innocence and trust.

According to the complaint filed by the girl’s father, his daughter was on her way to home from the institute on May 30 when Jawraj offered her a lift on his motorcycle. He took her to a hotel and committed the heinous crime. Later, the suspect left her near Jamalpur Chowk and fled.

The police on Saturday registered a case against Jawraj.

ASI Anil Kumar of the Moti Nagar police station said the suspect would be arrested soon as raids were already being conducted at his suspected whereabouts.

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).
