He was, allegedly, drugged after reaching the woman's house. His pictures were then taken in an objectionable position.

The case is under the scanner of Delhi police on top priority and it may be transferred to the crime branch or special cell if required.

An investigator told TOI that the police have found that the woman tries to approach parliamentarians "on pretext of seeking help and then befriend them by her smooth talk. She then takes them to her house for tea and then clicks their pictures in objectionable poses. After that, she demands money or a high flying job. If refused, she threatens to register a fake case of rape."
