Ruchika case: HC pulls up CBI over investigation

Zeenews Bureau

Chandigarh: Days after the SC granted bail to SPS Rathore in the Ruchika suicide case, the Punjab & Haryana High Court on Wednesday pulled up the CBI and asked it to file the investigation report in all three cases pending against the disgraced former top cop.

The court’s directive came in response to a Public Interest Litigation (PIL) that sought investigations into all possible angles in the Ruchika case.

Ruchika, 14, a budding tennis player, committed suicide three years after being molested by Rathore on August 12, 1990.

The CBI had on November 10 filed the closure report in two of the charges - attempt to murder and wrongful confinement – at the Amabala court. Importantly, the CBI’s move to close two of the three cases – the third relates to abetment to suicide- had come a day before Rathore’s bail plea was to come up for hearing at the Supreme Court.

The CBI had also told the SC that it wants to file the closure report in the third case too after obtaining the permission of the Punjab and High Court.

The closure reports were filed before the CBI court in Ambala which is yet to take a view. The CBI court has issued notices to the Girhotra family.

In view of the CBI’s report, the former top cop was granted bail and has since walked out of jail after 18 months

Today, issuing a notice to CBI, the court has asked the investigating agency to explain the basis on which it cancelled two cases and also explain what it is the status of the third case pending against Rathore.

The court also issued a notice to the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) seeking details of the action, if any, taken by it against Ruchika’s school – Sacred Heart High School.

The Chandigarh administration in its report had said that one of the reasons behind Ruchika committing suicide was the wrongful action taken against the 14-year-old girl by the school.

The High Court has also pulled up the Haryana government has aksed it to explain why Rathore was being promoted when such a case was pending against him.

The entire event is very sad. But, what better to expect from the Corrupt Politicians and Beaureaucrats...who have sold themselves to greed. They all do not realise that, today it is someone elses daughter, but tomorrow it can be theirs also. The law of Karma is very accurate and all involved shall pay for their deeds sooner or later. It is proved beyond dout, that the Law in India is only for the Low and Middle Class, the Upper Class is above the law. This is the reason of y people r loosing faith in the Justice system of the Country. People like Rathore are paracites who need to be punished for their deeds. Shame Shame to the CBI , Ministers, Police and Law and Order system of the country....

While lauding judiciary which is supreme in our country, the bureaucracy and the corrupt politicians who connive with the corrupt Police bosses like disgraced molestor,former Haryana DGP, SPS Rathore in recommending him for the grant of Police Medal also promotion to the next higher rank when a criminal case was still pending in the court of law against Rathore. Obviously, corruption had played a major role in granting Rathore the undeserved promotion as DGP, Haryana. Once on bail now, SPS Rathore, though not in uniform , will still harass and black mail Ruchika`s prents through his contacts in the government and police machinery. To meet the ends of justice, SPS Rathore bail should be cancelled and legal action initiated against him.

In short every thing is connected to corruption only, which must be weeded out from our country. All those responsible for Ruchika`s death (i.e. Her school, Rathore`s goons and his subordinate corrupt police officers who made the life of Ruchika`s family miserable and fearful and the bureaucrats who given promotions/rewards to molester Rathore) must be brought to justice and punished as per the provisions of the law.
