A day after Ruchika Girhotra's family hit out at the CBI for making a "compromise", chairman of the All India Anti Terrorist Front M S Bitta on Monday lashed out at the Intelligence Bureau for its alleged failure in providing inputs to the higher authorities regarding "true facts" of the teenager's molestation case.
"We only talk about the CBI's lapse. But this case also raises questions on the working of the intelligence agencies of the state and centre.
These officials are supposed to keep track of such cases, especially when the accused is a senior IPS official, but it appears they did not provide any report regarding true facts of the case and failed to give inputs to the higher authorities which could have changed the fate of the case," Bitta told reporters in Panchkula (Haryana).
"We all know there is a intelligence official present even during important press conferences. These officials regularly prepare reports and send them to the higher authorities...but it is not just the failure of the CBI or the intelligence agencies," he said.
Ruchika's family plans to file a fresh complaint over the CBI's "compromise" for its exclusion of abetment to suicide charge against former Haryana DGP SPS Rathore. PTI
