Tarn Taran, April 9

The Punjab State Human Rights Commission (PSHRC) today sought a report from Tarn Taran SSP in an incident related to parading of a 55-year-old woman “naked” in Valtoha.

Taking suo motu cognisance of the news in The Tribune on April 6 titled “Woman paraded ‘naked’ in Valtoha”, the PSHRC has fixed the next date of hearing on June 11. The PSHRC also directed the SSP to submit the report a week before the hearing.

In the first week of March, Akashdeep Singh, son of the 55-year-old woman, had done court marriage with the girl of the same village. On March 31, five members of the girl’s family, including a woman, attacked and paraded the victim.

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).
