Ruchika case: Utsav Sharma's bail plea to be heard tomorrow

The bail plea of the youth who allegedly inflicted knife injuries on former Haryana DGP SPS Rathore, convicted in the Ruchika Girhotra molestation case, will come up for hearing in a local court tomorrow.

Utsav Sharma was yesterday remanded to judicial custody by civil judge Paramjit Kaur.

The 29-year-old youth, a student at Ahmedabad's prestigious NID, stabbed 68-year-old Rathore thrice in the face with a pocket knife on Monday while posing as a journalist. The incident had occurred when Rathore was coming out of the court after a hearing.

After the incident, Utsav, who is said to be suffering from a psychological disorder, had been arrested and on Tuesday was remanded to a day's police remand. Utsav's parents had reached here from Varanasi on Tuesday after the incident.
