Abohar, March 20

A three-year-old girl was allegedly raped on Thursday afternoon by a 20-year-old youth, who served at a brick-kiln falling under Goluwala police station in Hanumangarh.

Father of the girl escorted his daughter to a police station on Thursday evening and lodged a complaint against Raju for allegedly taking his daughter to a nearby field and raping her.

The victim was playing near a brick-kiln when the accused accosted her and took her along.

After committing the crime, the accused fled away.

Investigating Officer Bishan Sahai said the victim had been admitted to the Civil Hospital, Hanumangarh, on Friday. Preliminary investigation reportedly indicated that Raju had been changing his workplaces every few months.

A case had been registered under relevant sections of the IPC and POCSO Act.

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).
