Two separate cases were registered against the accused - one of criminal intimidation and molestation and the other of rape. The police said charges were based on complaints filed by two women. The first woman, who is seen in seen in the video, told the police that Tomar called her to his friend's office in west Delhi’s Uttam Nagar and sexually assaulted her.
