Rathore’s grin turns into frown

Chandigarh, May 25: From a wide grin to a frown, disgraced former Haryana Police DGP SPS Rathore’s body language changed in a matter of minutes today as the court today enhanced his sentence to 18 months in jail for molesting teenager Ruchika Girhotra 20 years ago.

68-year-old Rathore was his confident self as he waved to mediapersons with a beaming face while starting from his house in posh Sector 6 at Panchkula, about 15 km from here.

Nearly an hour after the verdict was pronounced Rathore, wearing a light-brown trouser, a light-blue shirt and a tie, came out of the court escorted by CBI officials.

The group made their way to the car as mediapersons jostled to click his pictures and get a byte, but a grim Rathore remained mum.
