Police had booked Nagar on charges of raping and beating up the woman in September, after calling her to his official bungalow on the pretext of giving her a job.

The CBI on October 9 took over the probe from Rajasthan Police which had registered the case against Nagar, following which he resigned as the Minister of Dairy, Khadi and Rural Industries.
