Rathore moves for anticipatory bail, courts grant no immediate relief

Panchkula, Dec 30 (PTI) Facing imminent arrest following
filing of fresh FIRs against him in the Ruchika case, former
Haryana DGP SPS Rathore Wednesday moved an anticipatory bail
plea before the sessions court here which did not grant him
any immediate relief.

Abha, the lawyer-wife of 67-year-old Rathore, submitted
before District and Sessions Judge S P Singh that "fabricated,
twisted and forged" facts were being presented by the family
of Ruchika Girhotra in connection with the molestation case,
in which the former IPS officer has got six months
imprisonment.
In a 40-page petition, she alleged that her husband was
facing a "nothing but a trial by the media" and sought
protection of the court.
To a question by the judge on whether she was in
possession of the copies of the fresh FIRs, Abha replied in
the packed courtroom, "We came to know of the FIRs and the
fresh charges through the media. We want protection of this
court in view of the media trial and distortion of facts."
After hearing the arguments, the judge first adjourned
the proceedings, saying he would have to go through the
details and later issued notice to the state for a reply on
January one. The court did not grant Rathore any immediate
relief on his plea. (More) PTI SUN
