The Muktsar (City) police have arrested a man for allegedly raping his minor daughter for almost a month. The accused is a daily-wager and his wife works in a private factory in night shifts.

In her statement to the police, the victim alleged, “When my mother and aunt go to work in the evening, my father returns home, and drinks alcohol. He has been raping me for about a month after my mother and aunt went out for work. He threatened to kill me if I told about it to anyone. He used to sexually assault me every day.”

A case has been registered.

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).
