NEW DELHI: The long arm of the law seemed to be catching up with former Haryana DGP S P S Rathore with the Centre indicating its preference for
slapping Section 305 (abetment of suicide of a minor) against him. The charge stipulates a minimum punishment of a 10-year jail term and a maximum punishment of death.The Centres stance was spelt out on Wednesday by Union law minister Veerappa Moily. He said the possibility of using this severe law against Rathore was being explored by his ministry. He told "The state should ideally give the investigations into the fresh FIRs to the CBI as it had probed the case earlier and suicide should be the central theme of the investigation now, which was not done earlier," the minister said. "The focus of the earlier probe should have been the abetment of suicide of Ruchika who was only 14 years when she was molested," he added.

Govts latest Telangana move evokes mixed reactions |
|
|
|
| |
The decision of the central government to call a meeting January 5 of leaders of eight recognised political parties of Andhra Pradesh to discuss bifurcation of the state to carve out a Telangana state evoked contradictory reactions within the ruling Congress and the main opposition Telugu Desam Party (TDP).
With the two major parties vertically divided on regional lines, the leadership is now in a dilemma on the stand to be taken at the meeting.
While leaders of the Congress in Telangana hoped that the party would take a clear stand in support of a separate statehood, their counterparts in coastal Andhra and Rayalaseema were equally confident that the party would go by their views for a unified Andhra Pradesh.
The central governments move also added to the confusion in the TDP as to what stand it should take at the meeting.
TDP chief N Chandrababu Naidu went into a huddle with senior party leaders to chalk out a strategy. |
