Hyderabad, December 17

The Telangana Police have arrested a 40-year-old school headmaster in the Bhadradri Kothagudem district for allegedly sexually abusing five schoolgirls aged six-to-10 years.

The accused would invite children to the school on the pretext of teaching them so that they did not waste the academic year on account of Covid. He then forced them to watch pornographic content before sexually assaulting them.

Earlier this month, one of the victims fell ill and was taken to hospital where she told her mother about the sexual assault.

“The accused has been booked and arrested for sexual assault on minor girls,” DSP Sunil Dutt said.

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).
