    On July 20, Delhi Police had registered a case of abatement to suicide and handed over the entire matter to a Special Investigation Team.
     
    The family members of the woman had claimed that she had gone into depression after her alleged molester Bhardwaj, an AAP colleague, was released on bail.
     
    Bhardwaj was again arrested by a police team from Sonipat on July 26.
