RUCHIKA-RATHORE 2 LST

Earlier this morning, a grim-faced Rathore in sharp
contrast to the wide grin he sported the day he got six months
imprisonment earlier this month, stepped out of his residence
after having maintained a low profile following an uproar in
the media over his getting away lightly in the case.

Rathore refused to take questions from the reporters and
proceeded to the court with his wife.
The noose around the former Haryana top cop, who has
found guilty of molesting 14-year-old Ruchika, who later
committed suicide, was tightened last night with the police
registering two FIRs and moves were afoot to file a fresh
case of abetment to suicide.
Haryana police has registered two FIRs on the basis of
complaints by Ruchika's father Subhash Chander Girhotra and
her brother Ashu regarding alleged tampering of the
post-mortem report by police and harassment of Ashu including
attempt to murder him.
The Union Home and Law Ministries are also considering
appealing against the trial court's verdict in the case to
seek enhanced punishment for Rathore.
During the court proceedings on the anticipatory bail
plea, the sessions judge directed Rathore to present all the
documents on January 1 so that the issue could be decided
after going through the documents.
In the absence of exact nature of FIR it will not be
appropriate for the court to pass any order, the court
observed.
Immediately after the judge's order, Rathore with his
wife left the court premises in a private Tata Indica vehicle
without taking any questions from the media. PTI SUN
