Moga, May 2

The Moga District chief of the Lok Insaaf Party (LIP), Jagmohan Singh Gill, has been arrested by the police on the alleged charges of raping a married woman, the police said today.

As per the details available, a 32-year old woman of Nihalsinghwala town levelled allegations of rape, sexual exploitation and threats to life against Gill.

A criminal case under Sections 376 and 506 of the IPC has been registered against him. The victim told the police that Gill came in contact with her a few months back and forcibly developed physical relations with her. When she resisted, he issued threats to her, she added.

A medical examination of the victim was conducted in which it was prima facie established that she was raped and sexually assaulted by Gill.

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).
