Abohar, December 15

The police here arrested Akashdeep Singh Mannu of Bannawala (Arniwala) in connection with a case registered against him under Section 376 of the IPC and 4, 6 of the Protection of Children from sexual Offences Act.

A 17-year-old girl had lodged a complaint alleging that Mannu, who was working as driver for JCB machine used to lay sewage pipes here, had been exploiting her sexually for about a year on the pretext of marrying her, but it now surfaced that he was already married.

The court allowed police to carry custodial interrogation for a day.

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).
