Probe revealed that since 2004, Rastogi was detained thrice at police stations in Uttarkhand, UP and Delhi, but obtained release easily enough. A joint police team comprising cops from Delhi, Uttarakhand and UP is now trying to convince victims of the identified incidents to register complaints to ensure a watertight case against Rastogi. Investigators from the three states are corroborating the statements given by the victims to find a common thread. However, the law had permitted Rastogi to seek a bail from the police station itself. The cops are also probing the claim of a victim in New Ashok Nagar that Rastogi owned a pistol which he used to threaten to kill her.
