A public interest litigation (PIL) has been registered against Ruchika Girhotra's Sacred Heart School for expelling Ruchika under pressure from former Haryana director general of police SPS Rathore.

The Chandigarh-based school claimed that 14-year-old Ruchika, who was harassed by Rathore and afterward killed herself by drinking poison, was kicked out for not paying the fees in due course.

However, the family members of the girl, who was also a promising tennis player, were not convinced.

Mr. Subhash Girhotra, Ruchika's father, on Sunday attacked at Rathore and stated that he used his power to get Ruchika threw out from her school.

"Rathore used his influence. One day the Principal called me and told that we are removing her from the school. Don't send her to school any more," Mr. Girhotra said.

"The school authorities did not give us any substantial reason behind her sudden expulsion from the school. They cited some late fees related issue as a reason behind this, which was totally baseless."

Earlier, senior advocate Ranjan Lakhanpal claimed that a case will be lodged against everyone involved in Ruchika's case, including her school.

"We will be seeking action against the school also as to why she was expelled, what were the reasons, and under whose pressure it was done," Lakhanpal said.

The school is silent on the complete matter and is least interested in discussing reasons for expelling Ruchika.
