Deputy police commissioner (South) Benita Mary Jaiker said that the alleged sexual assault was reported to the police on Monday.

“...based on her statement, a case was registered under Sections 376 (rape) and 377 (unnatural offences) of the IPC (Indian Penal Code) at the Hauz Khas police station and investigation of the same was taken up,” Jaiker said. She added that the doctor’s statement has been recorded before a magistrate and raids have been conducted to arrest the accused.
