Her name was Ruchika Girhotra.

She was 14 years old. A tennis player from Panchkula, Haryana.

On August 12 1990, she went to meet S.P.S. Rathore at his office. He was the Inspector General of Police and head of the Haryana Lawn Tennis Association. He had promised her father he would arrange special coaching for her.

When her friend stepped out of the room, he molested her.

Her family filed a complaint three days later.

Rathore had her expelled from school. Her father was suspended from his bank job on false charges. Six cases were filed against her brother Ashu. The family's house was forcibly sold. They fled to the outskirts of Shimla and took up earth filling work to survive.

On December 28 1993, days after Ashu was paraded in handcuffs through their neighbourhood, Ruchika consumed poison.

She died the next day. She was 17.

Rathore threw a party that night.

He then refused to release her body to her father unless he signed blank papers. Those papers were later used to forge documents accepting a false autopsy report.

Despite a police inquiry recommending an FIR against him, Rathore kept getting promoted. He became the Director General of Police of Haryana in 1999.

The case went through 40 adjournments and more than 400 hearings over 19 years.

In December 2009 a court convicted him of molestation. He was sentenced to six months' imprisonment and fined Rs 1,000.

The sentence was later enhanced to 18 months. The Supreme Court upheld his conviction in 2016 but reduced it to the time already served. He walked free.

The judge who tried to add abetment to suicide charges against him was forced into premature retirement.

The judge who dismissed those charges was a neighbour of Ruchika's family involved in a property dispute with them.

S.P.S. Rathore was later invited as a VIP guest to a Republic Day event in Panchkula.

Ruchika Girhotra was 14 when he molested. She was 17 when she died.
