LAW CLOSES ON RATHORE

Nineteen years after a molestation attempt on Ruchika, nemesis seems to be catching up with disgraced former DGP SPS Rathore. His arrest seems imminent because the Panchkula District and Sessions Judge on Wednesday refused to grant him interim bail. It is only because of massive public outcry and media glare that the whole case has come to be revisited. What happened in the Best Bakery and Jessica Lal cases earlier, seems to be happening in the Ruchika molestation case as well. Complaints against Rathore by the tormented families were converted into FIRs and the legal net is closing in on him once again. He had torn it to shreds earlier thanks to the tremendous powers which he happened to enjoy as a senior police officer. He misused his authority and influence to the hilt, leading the molested Ruchika to commit suicide. Not only that, the brave families which lent her a helping hand also had to lead a harrowing time all these 19 years. It will be some consolation for them if he gets the toughest punishment for his monstrous deeds.

 

Nearly two decades have already gone by. Effort must be made to proceed with the case on the fast track so that he is served his just desserts in the shortest possible time. Care must also be taken that he is not able to influence the investigation through his tried and tested methods. After all, how he managed to scuttle even a CBI inquiry is well known. He should not succeed now.

 

And it is not only him who should pay for his crimes. There are many others who acted hands in glove with him. Politicians, policemen and others who were instrumental in the tragic end of Ruchika must all pay for their insensitivity. For instance, the school management had no right to throw her out when she was already a tormented pupil. Policemen who registered false cases against Ruchika's brother and tortured him must not escape justice. Ferreting out all facts and acting on them with an iron hand is the only way to ensure that no other girl suffers at the hands of a power-drunk fiend.

Yes law is very close to Rathore.

 

How many twists one have to see in future of this case. Let us wait and see. What is going to be happen in Rathore's case.

 Now after 19 years? Where was law all these years?

The answer is "Sleeping". What will happen to people like us who are toothless, no media value? Is it time barred/limitation comes in way of justice? Real justice will be when all those who have supported/saved Mr. Rathore and responsible for the delay and came in the way of justice, too will be punished heavily.

Anil Agrawal (Retired)     01 January 2010

 Let us not get excited. The last word has not yet been said. Many surprises may be in store. With all the media attention, that molester may still walk out free. 

Anil Agrawal (Retired)     01 January 2010

 And he has walked free. And he will walk free.

Those who have immense faith in police and judidiciary must get a shock of their life to wake up. On prima facie grounds Judge has granted interim bail. Foundation has been laid for setting him free and throw away the FIRs. 

Have you ever heard a Committee to investigate the FIRs? Hooda and police are trying to hoodwink the public. It shows the clout that the molester still enjoys.

Nothing will happen to Rathore. Ministers are in his hands and law is in Ministers hand.

Anil Agrawal (Retired)     01 January 2010

 Right. Crooks go together.

Bhartiya No. 1 (Nationalist)     01 January 2010

At least he got defamed.

Anil Agrawal (Retired)     01 January 2010

What are you talking about?  Who cares for defamation?

J. P. Shah (RTI & CONSUMER ACTIVIST)     02 January 2010

Common man is fast losing faith in judiciary also and this is very dangerous to integrity and security of country. Courts are today Kaydalayas and no more Nyayalayas.

Anil Agrawal (Retired)     02 January 2010

 Suffer but don't go to courts. It will increase your suffering more.

rathore (advocate)     02 January 2010

when a person muderd incase what we can

 

Anil Agrawal (Retired)     02 January 2010

 End of drama when Rathore walks out free. The entire machinery is shielding him because it in their interest to do so otherwise they run the risk of being exposed themselves.
