Rathore Pays Rs 9.05 Lac for Fancy Number Plate


Chandigarh, Apr 25 (PTI): Former Haryana DGP S P S Rathore, convicted of molesting teenager Ruchika Girhotra, has paid the highest amount of Rs 9,05,001 for a fancy number for the new luxury car bought by him for his lawyer wife.

Rathore has paid the highest amount of Rs 9,05,001 for the fancy number 'CH 01 AM 0001' for his new Mercedes which he gifted to his wife, Registering and Licensing Authority (RLA) officials said here today.

At the RLA auction held here yesterday for the new series CH 01 AM, the highest bidder turned out to be none other than Rathore.

Rathore took the bidding to a new level by adding one rupee to each of his bids in order to outdo others.

"My wife is number one and so is the Rs one that I suffixed to the bids," Rathore said.

There were 18 applications for the number 0001 in the new series, officials said adding that in the auction held in January CH 01 AL 0001 had fetched Rs 5.8 lakh.

Rathore said that he had paid the advance amount for 15 numbers.Determined to take the fancy number for the woman who stood by him in tough times, Rathore increased the bid amount by Rs one for four consecutive times before clinching the number, officials said.

The former Haryana top cop, who was convicted of molesting teenager Ruchika Girhotra in 1990, had served in jail from May to November 2010. He was released on bail by the Supreme Court on November 11, 2010. However, he was asked not to leave India and the case is still pending in the Apex court.

    Molester Rathore is always in the news and it's disgusting to see the faces of such crooks who survive only because of the corrupt police system. They have the ill-gotten wealth and will not hesitate to waste like this. The poor girl and her family had to pay the price only because of this shameless man.

    @Nagesh and Mathews how sincere you are. Ofcourse what has happened is very bad and cruel, but a young girl took a very haste step rather would have lived to pin the victim. May her soul rest in peace.

    Shouldn't the IT investigate from where he got the money to buy a Mercedes and pay 9 lacs for the number plate?

    Whatever the price he has paid for the fancy number plate, the dark blemish in his character (of molesting an innocent teenager) cannot be blotted out. In the eyes of the general public he will always be known as the "molester monster" and not by his Mercedes vehicle or its number plate.
