A Delhi court on Monday acquitted AAP MLA Dinesh Mohaniya in a 2016 case of alleged molestation.

Additional Chief Metropolitran Magistrate Vishal Pahuja acquitted Mohaniya on furnishing a bail bond of Rs 20,000.

The bail bond is taken to ensure the presence of the person concerned in case of an appeal in the higher court challenging the acquittal.

The MLA was booked on June 23, 2016, for allegedly misbehaving with a group of women who had approached him with a complaint regarding water crisis in their locality on the previous night. PTI

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).
