When the woman approached the police, no FIR was registered. She later filed a complaint in court, following which police registered a case under the relevant sections of Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS).
The officer claimed the matter got delayed since the complainant was not available in Delhi, and also due to lack of sufficient grounds at the time of the incident.
However, the matter was taken up seriously once the court issued directions, he added. PTI SSJ ARI
