The SMILE has to go

SPS Rathore has been let off in the Ruchika Girhotra case .When law-keepers subvert the system,they must get dbouble the punishment.

Ruchika and her friend Aradhana were tyennis buffs.The teanage girls had just seen a SteffiGraf-Monica Seles face -off on TV and were itching to ape the serves and volleys .Rathore ,then an Inspector -General of Police (IG )and also the head of the Haryana Lawn Tennis Association ,summoned Ruchika into his office ,and then began groping and pawing her .Aradhana walked into the room just in time for Ruchika to inentangle herself.
Ruchik's father has a bone-chillig question .If the FIR had been registered on time ,would Ruchika still have been alive today?
The verdict --that has come 19 years to take--is a joke.The judge talks about factoring in the "length of the trial and the age of the verdict" while explaining his six-month sentence .Did he forget Ruchika's age ?It's bewildering why the judge did not even deliver the two-year sentence that is the maximum punishment for molestation .
When I saw Rathore strutting out of court smiling last week ,I feel sick in my stomach .More so ,when Isaw his wife by his side ,wearing the same expression of smugness.Theirt daughter must be Ruchika's age .Would they be smiling if she had been molested by a sick,old ,powerful man?
ThaT SMILE HAS TO GO .aND WE HAVE TO MAKE IT HAPPEN.
