Chandigarh: Former Haryana director general of police (DGP) S.P.S. Rathore was sentenced to six months in prison on Monday in a 1990 case of molesting 14-year-old budding tennis player Ruchika Girotra who committed suicide three years later.

Rathore was allowed bail by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) court special judge J.S. Sidhu immediately after his sentencing.

The former DGP can now appeal before a higher court against the CBI court order.
