The Ludhiana (rural) police have booked a youth of Lakha village, Harjot Singh, for allegedly raping a college student on Wednesday.

Though the victim had refused to accompany the suspect in his car on the fateful day, he persuaded her to sit in his car on the pretext of leaving her at the bus stop.

But instead of dropping her to a bus stop, the youth took her to a hotel and raped her.

“Though I had refused to accompany Harjot in his car, he reached my college at 2 pm on Wednesday and allured me to sit in the car on the pretext of helping me board a bus to my village,” the victim told the police while accusing the suspect of taking her forcibly to a hotel and raping her there.

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).
