On her request, a medical test was conducted though the report was awaited. An FIR was also lodged under section 354 (assault or use of criminal force to outrage a woman's modesty) and other sections of the IPC.

The woman has been staying in Pushkar since April 15, police said. Pushkar is a hot tourist spot and an important sacred Hindu pilgrim town.
