The victim was found dumped with severe injuries in the fields on February 9. Doctors at the Ropar Civil Hospital referred her to the PGI, Chandigarh, where she had to undergo surgery.

A case under Section 376 and under the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences Act was registered against the accused and the police had announced a reward of Rs 1 lakh on his arrest.

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).
