Ruchika molestation case: Rathore may lose his police medal, pension | The Central Government has inquired into the several glitches that were not paid attention to in the Ruchika molestation case, allowing former Haryana Director General of Police (DGP) SPS Rathore to remain in office despite the charges.
Rathore was charged with allegedly molesting teenager Ruchika Girhotra, a
promising
young tennis star in 1990. He was then an Inspector General of Police and the
head of Haryana's Lawn Tennis Federation. CBI's Special Magistrate J S Sidhu
sentenced
67-year-old Rathore to six months rigorous imprisonment (RI) during an in-camera
proceeding and imposed a fine of Rs 1,000, but Rathore got bail immediately.
Teenager
Ruchika killed herself three years after the incident by drinking poison. The
Centre is now paying keen attention on the matter. It is also deciding upon whether
Rathore should be stripped of his police medal, which he was awarded in 1985.
The government has also reportedly decided to serve a show cause notice inquiring
why Rathore should get full pension, despite being convicted by CBI's special
magistrate on the charges of allegedly molesting teenager Ruchika Girhotra. The
question that has cropped up now is who recommended Rathore's name for the
police
medal and how he managed to get a clean chit in Ruchika molestation case. The
CBI has now decided to file a petition asking for rigorous punishment to be given
to the accused former Haryana DGP. |
