The CBI will take over "in a few days" the case against former Haryana police chief S P S Rathore, convicted for molesting teenager Ruchika Girhotra in 1990, and is waiting for copies of fresh FIRs naming him for abetting the teen's suicide.
The Haryana Police Saturday said it won't act "hastily" to arrest Rathore, who has been booked on non-bailable charges. The police on Friday drew criticism from a Haryana court for delaying action in the molestation case, which is now being probed afresh with the suicide angle.
A CBI official in Delhi said, "We have not received papers regarding fresh FIRs against Rathore from the state government," the CBI official told IANS.
He said the case was "in principle" with the Haryana Police and they have to decide about Rathore's custodial interrogation.
"We are yet to take over the case. We will decide on our line of action only after we get the FIR copies," the official said.
