Disgraced former Haryana top cop SPS Rathore today got a week's interim bail against arrest in two cases as the Central government indicated that the CBI may take over the case of abetment to suicide of teenager Ruchika Girhotra.<br/><br/>The 67-year-old former DGP got the bail from Sessions Court in Panchkula which posted the hearing in two cases till 7th of January. The cases pertain to harassment of Ruchika's brother Ashu which includes a charge of attempt to murder and the doctoring of report of her postmortem.<br/><br/>Even as Rathore got a temporary reprieve, highly placed sources in Central government said that the CBI may take over the case relating to serious charge of abetment to suicide against Rathore after Haryana government registers an FIR.<br/><br/>Earlier, District and Sessions Judge S P Singh, who gave the bail, imposed conditions on Rathore that included he would not leave the country without court's permission and also not threaten any one connected with the case. <br/><br/>The interim bail, the judge said, shall remain in force till January 7 when the case will come up for further hearing. Rathore was not present in the court. In its three-page order, the court also directed Rathore to make himself available for investigation in connection with the two cases if the police asked him to join the probe.<br/><br/>Abha Rathore argued before the judge that Ruchika's father, Subhash Chander Girhotra, Ashu and the family of Madhu Prakash, the complainant in the molestation case, want to become heroes in the eyes of the public. She alleged that the facts had been fabricated and interpolated. On the other hand, Pankaj Bhardwaj, lawyer for Ruchika's family, expressed the hope that he will be able to expose the truth on the next date of hearing.<br/><br/>Asked whether the development was a set back to the case against Rathore, he said, so far they have not got any opportunity to present the case.
