Moga, June 13

Four years after a 16-year-old girl was murdered, the police today claimed to have solved the case by arresting an orchestra operator from Bathinda. The body of the victim was found dumped on the Moga-Kotkapura road near Rajeana village on July 4, 2016.

The main accused, identified as Ajay, a friend of the victim, is still absconding. He had allegedly raped the victim at a friend’s place in Bathinda. Then, he left her with an orchestra operator with whom she lived for more than six months before she was murdered.

SHO of Baghapurana police station claimed that orchestra operator Dara Singh had admitted that he along with his brother-in-law Goldy had killed the girl on the intervening night of July 2 and 3. They then approached an ambulance driver and gave him Rs 30,000 to dispose of the body. — TNS

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).
