Ragging incident: ASG to move apex court for action
New Delhi (PTI): Outraged by the death of 19-year-old medico Aman Kachroo due to ragging Additional Solicitor General Gopal Subramaniam on Tuesday announced he would move the Supreme Court seeking exemplary action against those involved in the heinous offence.
Mr. Subramaniam, who was earlier appointed as amicus curaie (friend of the court) by the apex court which had passed a series of directions to curb the menace, said he would move a special application pressing for constitution of a fast track court to expedite the trial in the case and bring to book the culprits responsible for Kachroo's death.
Speaking to PTI, he said the application would be moved on March 16, immediately after the apex court reopens after the Holi vacation.
Mr. Subramaniam said he would ensure that the "conduct of the state government would be called into question. It would include the role of the students, the principal and the vice chancellor."
"I will be seeking action for contempt, inaction, negligence and failure of all those responsible for preventing such an incident. Yes, I will ask for a fast track court to decide the case in an expeditious way," Mr. Subramaniam said.
The Additional Solicitor General said stern action should be taken against those responsible for Kachroo's death as the incident had happended despite the apex court passing the directions to curb the menace.
