The two girls, who are from Gurgaon and Delhi, joined the probe yesterday and were questioned at their respective homes, said a senior police officer.
Their family members visited the Crime Branch office at Kamla Market and were told the statements of the two girls were to be recorded and the police team later visited their homes for the purpose, he said.
The girls said they were in the know of what was being done and recorded but they didn't know the video will be uploaded on the Internet, he said.
A case was registered against Sumit under section 354 (assault or criminal force to woman with intent to outrage her modesty) of IPC and section 67 (punishment for publishing or transmitting obscene material in electronic form) of IT Act following outrage over the clip.
With the girls saying that they knew what was going to be filmed, police will now be seeking legal opinion in the matter to understand whether the sections need to be changed, said the officer.
