Former Haryana police chief S.P.S. Rathore, convicted of molesting teenager Ruchika Girhotra in 1990, was stabbed thrice in the face by a youth wielding a sharp-edged pocket knife outside the district court complex on Feb 8.

As Rathore stepped out of the complex in Sector 17 and was headed towards his car, the young attacker caught him by the neck and in a split second stabbed him thrice. His wife and counsel Abha Rathore was with him at the time.
