No relief for Rathore from High Court
Former director general of Haryana Police, S P S Rathore, convicted of molestation, failed to get any relief from the Punjab and Haryana High Court on his anticipatory bail plea on Monday as the court fixed the next date of hearing on January 25.
Earlier, the CBI counsel opposed the anticipatory bail plea of Rathore arguing that there was possibility of tampering of evidence and intimidation of witnesses as Rathore had held high positions in the state. He contended that the investigations by the CBI were in the initial stage and granting anticipatory bail to Rathore at this stage could hamper the probe.
Rathore had moved the high court after a Panchkula court had dismissed his anticipatory bail plea on January 8. Court asked the CBI to file its reply to the third FIR pertaining to abetment of suicide charge against Rathore under section 306 of the IPC on January 25.
