National Women's Commission to investigate Ruchika case
New Delhi:The National Commission for Women on Wednesday decided to form committee to examine Ruchika Girhotra case. The committee comprising of advocates will examine the sequence of events since the complaint was first filed against
former Haryana DGP SPS Rathore. According to NCW the committee would also investigate
whether there was any attempt to hush up the matter. The NCW will ask the committee
to submit a report within two months. A 14-year-old Ruchika killed herself sixteen
years ago. The then DGP Rathore who was accused of molesting Ruchika managed to
escape with a paltry fine and a mere sentence of six months imprisonment for which
bail has already been granted. The civil rights organisations are demanding to
charge Rathore with abetting suicide.
