New Delhi, Dec 30 (PTI) The Law Ministry is
contemplating asking the National Commission
for Women to move the Supreme Court seeking
its intervention for stiffer punishment for a former
Haryana top cop who has been sentenced to six
months' imprisonment for molesting a teenaged
girl.
Law Minister M Veerappa Moily said "NCW could
approach the Supreme Court seeking its
intervention for an enhanced punishment for
former Haryana DGP S P S Rathore under the
present case (under section 354 relating to
molestation of the IPC)". Rathore has been
convicted for molesting Ruchika Girhotra in 1993
and she committed suicide three years later.

apex court's intervention through NCW,
government hopes to get directions on how to
go about the case.
