A 24-year-old Indian-origin man has been jailed for life following what Scotland Yard described as a “significant” police investigation into an attempted rape and rape of a child in London.

Navroop Singh was sentenced to life imprisonment with a minimum term of 14 years behind bars for five charges including rape at Isleworth Crown Court on Friday, the Metropolitan Police said.

He had pleaded guilty to three offences – possession of an imitation firearm with intent to commit offence, rape of a girl under 13 and assault of a minor by penetration.

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).
