Teen molester Haryana DGP SPS Rathore get bail today?

A Panchkula court will decide on Friday whether to give anticipatory bail to Ruchika’s tormentor former Haryana DGP SPS Rathore in connection with two fresh cases filed by her family.

On Thursday, the court had reserved the order on the bail till Friday.

The court had earlier given interim bail to Rathore till January 7 and asked the Haryana Government to reply to its notice on the two cases by then.

What could affect the outcome of the hearing on Rathore’s bail plea is the failure of the Haryana government to file its reply on Thursday to the court notice.

The court rapped the police saying, “The Special Investigation Team (SIT) was constituted seven days ago and this time is enough to collect evidence. But SIT has not been able to collect a single evidence against Rathore. You have senior officers in SIT, then why is there a delay?”

The judge also had some tough words for the public prosecutor when he asked for more time to file the government’s reply.
