A Delhi Police officer, whose son was booked for raping and beating a girl at a BPO in Delhi's Uttam Nagar, was suspended today.

The officer -- Assistant Sub-Inspector Ashok Singh Tomar -- was suspended after he himself was booked under Section 506 (criminal intimidation) of the Indian Penal Code for allegedly intimidating his son's ex-girlfriend.

In another case, Ashok Tomar's son, Rohit Tomar was accused of raping and then beating a girl after she said she would go to the police.

The 21-year-old girl alleged that Rohit called her to a BPO in West Delhi's Uttam Nagar area. The girl said Rohit raped her and when she said she would go to the police he beat her up. The incident took place on September 2.

Rohit's friend had shot a video of the beating. The video went viral after which a case was registered against Rohit and he was arrested.

Rohit also used the video to threaten his ex-girlfriend. Rohit's ex-girlfriend, speaking exclusively to India Today TV, said that he had sent her the video and told her she would face the same fate if she refused to marry him.

The ex-girlfriend also accused Rohit of coming to her house on September 11 and misbehaving, following which she called his father, Ashok Tomar. Ashok too misbehaved with the girl and threatened her by saying they had objectionable photos and videos of her which they would make viral.

The girl also filed a complaint against Rohit and Ashok Tomar in West Delhi's Tilak Nagar Police Station on September 11.

Correction : An earlier version of the story said Ashok Tomar was on the run. However, new information points to him being back in New Delhi. This copy has been updated to reflect the same.
