Jhajjar, June 9

The police arrested Anil Malik, the key accused in the case of sexual assault on a 25-year-old Bengali woman at Tikri, from Bhiwani last night.

He had been absconding for over a month after a case was registered against him and five others on the complaint of the victim’s father.

Rajesh Duggal, Jhajjar SP, said Malik was arrested by a police team led by CIA-2 in-charge Manoj Kumar. He would be produced before a local court on Thursday.

The victim had come to Tikri from West Bengal to support farmers on April 12. She died of Covid at a private hospital in Bahadurgarh on April 30. On May 8, her father lodged a complaint alleging his daughter was sexually assaulted by Malik at the protest site.

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).
