Pathankot, December 17

Four persons have been booked by the Pathankot police for allegedly raping a minor girl at Jaini Khalki village falling under Shahpur Kandi police station of the district.

SSP Deepak Hilori said the main accused, Mushtaq, had been arrested, while a hunt had been launched to nab the other three, who have been identified as Hanif, Khatan Hussian and Yakub.

He said the FIR had been registered on the basis of a complaint lodged by the girl herself. “We have booked all the accused under Sections 376 D, 506 IPC and POCSO (Protection of Children from Sexual Offences) Act. The girl’s medical examination has been conducted at the Pathankot civil hospital. We hope to arrest the three accused by tomorrow. We are working on some clues provided by Mushtaq,” said Hilori.

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).
