Chidambaram expresses displeasure over handling of Ruchika case | Union Home Minister P Chidambaram on Thursday expressed
his displeasure over the handling of Ruchika Girhotra molestation case but said he can not pronounce any judgement. Releasing Home Ministry's December month report
card here, Chidambaram said: "As a Home Minister I can not pronounce any judgement.
I am really unhappy in the way the charges were framed, the trial has been conducted,
and the way the accused has been punished." On Wednesday, Ruchika's father Subhash
along with their family counsel Pankaj Bhardwaj met Chidambaram to discuss the
case. "The family of the unfortunate girl Ruchika met me yesterday, they told
me that they have filed two FIRs, for harassing and botching of post mortem records.
They told me that they are filing another FIR on abetment of suicide," Chidambaram
said. I would certainly look into what the Central Government could do. They told
they would send a copy of the FIR. I will react only when I get a copy if he FIR,"
he added. In the evening Ruchika's family filed the third FIR in against former
Haryana Director General of Police (DGP) SPS Rathore under Section 306 of the
Indian Penal code for abatement for suicide. Denying the reports of sending an
advisory to the Haryana Government, Chidambaram said: I have not sent any advisory
to the Haryana Government." Commenting over delay by the Centre to take action
against Rathore, Chidambaram said: " I am sorry the Centre doesn't come into picture
until the officer is convicted." "He (Rathore) was Haryana cadre officer. He was
prosecuted in Haryana. Once the court pronounces judgement convicting the IPS
officer then the Centre comes into picture. Till the it was for the Haryana Government
to decide on the matter." Chidambaram added. |
