Breaking his silence, Ashu Girhotra, brother Ruchika, on Thursday filed a fresh complaint before Haryana Police seeking registration of a case of abetment to suicide against former DGP S P S Rathore and demanded that he should be put behind bars.
"I have met the SP and sought a case under 306 of IPC (Abetment to suicide) against Rathore," he told reporters after meeting Panchkula SP Maneesh Choudhary.
Appearing before the media for the first time, he spoke of the travails he had undergone due to harassment by Rathore who molested his sister 19 years ago and got away with light punishment of six months imprisonment.
"I was tortured. Many false cases were filed against me. My family was harassed. Because of the torture I was subjected to, my sister committed suicide," he said.
Ashu said he was subjected to third degree torture in police custody Rathore used to personally come and see it. "My demand is he should be put behind bars," he said in reply to a question.
Congress on Thursday said law will take its course in the matter. "Law will take its own course. Congress does not interfere in legal matters," party spokesman Shakeel Ahmed said. PTI
