Fresh FIR against Rathore, others in Ruchika case

Panchkula, December 29: Haryana Police tonight registered two fresh FIRs against ex-DGP SPS Rathore and other police officials for allegedly slapping false cases against Ruchika Girhotra’s brother, attempting to murder him and doctoring the post-mortem report of the girl who committed suicide three years after being molested by the top cop.

“We have registered FIRs in connection with both the complaints we had received. We have decided to register fresh cases taking into consideration the seriousness of the case,” Superintendent of Police Maneesh Chaudhary told reporters.

The action came after Ruchika’s father and brother filed two complaints. They demanded lodging of FIRs under various sections of the IPC including attempt to murder and torture (in Ashu’s case) and “fabricating” the post-mortem report.

The decision was taken after Chaudhary met state DGP Ranjiv Dalal and held consultations with him on the issue.
