Muktsar, June 17

The Bariwala police today booked a priest for allegedly sexually harassing a 34-year-old Dalit woman. The video of the alleged incident has gone viral on social media. In her complaint, the victim said her husband had gone to Malaysia and the accused, identifed as Rakesh Dubey, tried to sexually exploit her. A case under Sections 354-A, 454, 380 of the IPC and 3 (2) of the SC/ST (Prevention of Atrocities) Act 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).
