    The woman had filed a complaint against Ramesh Bhardwaj for allegedly touching her inappropriately and a case of molestation was registered in June. The accused was arrested and later released on bail.
     
    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.
     
    The victim had also alleged that the accused was being protected by a local AAP MLA.
     
    Her husband Ashok Mishra told Mr Singh that the family has received "no concrete help so far".
