Will file abetment to suicide case: Ruchika's father

Will file abetment to suicide case: Ruchika's father
Ruchika Girhotra's father, Subhash Chander Girhotra, has said he will file an abetment to suicide case against former Haryana DGP SPS Rathore.

The father of the 14-year-old who was molested by Rathore and who later committed suicide, said: "We will be filing case under Sec 306 which is abetment to suicide."

In a blow to Ruchika's family and friends, Rathore was sentenced last week to only six months for molesting Ruchika 19 years ago. Ruchika committed suicide three years later after extreme harassment.

Girhotra said Rathore used his influence to have Ruchika expelled from school. "Rathore's daughter was in the same class; don't know which section. She was embarrassed. Rathore used his influence and the Principal called me," he said.

Ruchika's father said he had also received an anonymous call after the judgment.

He is bitter about the CBI's role in the case too. "They should not have compromised simply on a molestation case. They should have gone to the Supreme Court on 306", he said.
