Chandigarh: The CBI today sought maximum punishment of two years for disgraced former Haryana DGP SPS Rathore in the Ruchika molestation case before a court which adjourned the hearing on the plea till February 8.

Additional District and Sessions Judge R S Attri also issued notice to 68-year-old Rathore on CBI's submission and on a revision petition by complainant Madhu Parkash with the same plea, Ruchika family's counsel Pankaj Bhardwaj said.

Challenging the six-month sentence awarded to Rathore for molesting 14-year-old Ruchika in 1990, three years after which she committed suicide, the CBI had yesterday filed the appeal before the court.
