It must be recalled that an SIT had been formed after the intervention of Preeti Bhardwaj Dalal – State Commission of Women Chairperson, directing DGP Haryana to look into the matter at the earliest, then quoting:

If laws are made to protect rights of a person, they can also be misused to throttle the liberty of opponents. 

In November, an SIT, headed by DCP HQ Gurgaon, was formed.

Astha Modi, deputy commissioner of police (DCP), headquarters, who was heading the SIT, said,

As per our probe, out of the eight cases of rape registered by the woman, a cancellation report has been filed in three cases and in one case, the woman had turned hostile and not recorded her statement in court. In four cases, we have filed a chargesheet and a probe is ongoing, and another case is under investigation.

Two people have filed a case of extortion alleging that she had blackmailed them into marrying her and filed a case against them on false charges.

Speaking with MDO, Deepika Narayan Bhardwaj gave credit to the courage of one of the falsely accused men in this case, who came forward and report the matter to police. Bhardwaj quoted,

I give the credits of this arrest to Mahesh, the man who approached me seeking help. If he also didn’t speak up, this wouldn’t have happened. I also want to thank the mother who filed an FIR on her finally, leading to her arrest. These families rested so much faith in me. I saw the trauma they had been through. I had resolved I will get this girl punished for her deeds.
