“Officer Biswak Mukherjee beat me up at Tiljala police station. Policemen were secretly recording our investigation proceedings. They beat me up for protesting against this,” Kanoongo tweeted. West Bengal Commission for Protection of Child Rights (WBCPCR) chief Sudeshna Roy, however, alleged that Kanoongo insulted her and her colleagues. The Kolkata Police rejected Kanoongo’s allegations, saying the officers cooperated with him.

Earlier this week, a minor was allegedly raped during school hours in a government school in Malda and later murdered by a neighbour in Tiljala.

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).
