Faridkot, January 19

Four inmates of the Faridkot Central Jail on the intervening night of January 18 to 19 allegedly thrashed another prisoner and assaulted him sexually.

The jail authorities have sent the sexual assault victim to the Civil Hospital for treatment. The authorities have also reported the incident to District and Sessions Judge.

The Assistant Superintendent of the jail wrote to the police and informed that victim was sexually assaulted by four inmates. Of them, three accused belong to Faridkot and the fourth accused belongs to Ludhiana district.

The police said a case would be registered after getting medical report from the Civil Hospital.

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).
