Ruchika molestation case: Home Ministry to serve show-cause notice to Rathore | In a move to fast forward its proceedings for stripping former Haryana Director General of Police (DGP) SPS Rathore of his coveted police medal following his role in Ruchika molestation case, the Central Government has decided to place his case before an awards committee. Union
Home
Secretary G K Pillai said the concerned issue would be put up before an awards
committee, which will meet on January 4, 2010. Steps would be taken to issue show
cause notice to former DGP Rathore, he further added. The Haryana state
government
has also planned to open up all the cases against former DGP Rathore for his alleged
involvement in the Ruchika molestation case and other related harassment cases.
Haryana Chief Minister Bhupinder Singh Hooda said in New Delhi on Saturday,
"The
cases against former DGP Rathore will be opened up following legal consultations."
Hooda has also asked the senior police officials to provide full security to Ruchika's
family. The Haryana Police have removed all information related to Rathore from
their official website. Meanwhile, Ruchika's family has said that it will file
a suit in the High Court to claim one crore rupees as monetary compensation for
the damage caused by DGP Rathore to the prestige of the family. Rathore, charged
with alleged molestation of teenager Ruchika Girhotra, a promising young tennis
star in 1990, was then an Inspector General of Police and the head of Haryana
Lawn Tennis Federation. Teenager Ruchika killed herself three years after the
incident by drinking poison. 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. |
