SC Girhotra, father of teenaged molestation victim Ruchika, on Tuesday submitted a fresh police complaint, seeking registration of a case against disgraced former Haryana director general of police SPS Rathore and other police officers.
Girhotra, who submitted the complaint to the Panchkula district police chief, sought registration of First Information Report (FIR) against Rathore and other police officers for conspiracy in slapping false cases of car theft against his son Ashu in the early 1990s.
Panchkula Superintendent of Police Maneesh Chaudhary said he had received the complaint from Girhotra and appropriate action would be taken after examining the complaint.
A special Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) court in Chandigarh had December 21 held Rathore guilty of molesting 14-year-old Ruchika in Panchkula town August 12, 1990 and sentenced him to a six-month prison term. Rathore was immediately granted bail.
The budding tennis player Ruchika had committed suicide three years after the incident.
