Rathore called Ruchika a girl of loose morals

Haryana DGP S P S Rathore had allegedly used Ruchika’s expulsion from school to weaken the initial inquiry into the

molestation allegations by portraying her as a ‘‘loose character girl.’’ The teenager was thrown out of her Sacred Heart school soon after she complained against the top cop.

Madhu Prakash in her statement given to sub-divisional magistrate (south), Chandigarh, claimed: ‘‘S P S Rathore had submitted a representation in the last week of September 1990 stating that Ruchika was a girl of loose morals, who already stands expelled from the school.’’

‘‘This was apparently done by Rathore to evade harsher punishment,’’ said Anand Prakash, father of lone
eye-witness Aradhana. The former DGP in his statement given to SDM (south) stated that he did not remember whether he ever submitted such a representation to CBI or Haryana Government in 1990 or any time thereafter.
