Chandigarh, Dec 29 (IANS) Lawyer Pankaj Bhardwaj, who fought Ruchika Girhotra’s molestation case free of cost for the last 13 years, said he will meet union Home Minister P. Chidambaram in New Delhi Wednesday and place all the facts and evidence of the case before him.
“I had got a call from the home minister’s office a few days back and they called me to Delhi to discuss this case. Earlier we fixed the date of Dec 29 but later changed it to Dec 30,” Bhardwaj told IANS Tuesday.
He added: “Tomorrow I will meet the home minister and other senior officials of his department at 4 p.m. I will apprise him about the anomalies in the inquiry report and in the case trial so far.”
A special Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) court in Chandigarh had Dec 21 held former Haryana director general of police (DGP) S.P.S. Rathore guilty of molesting 14-year-old Ruchika in Panchkula town Aug 12, 1990, and sentenced him to a six-month prison term. Rathore was immediately granted bail.
The budding tennis player had committed suicide three years after the incident.
