The woman in her complaint to the police had said that

she had a quarrel with her husband in 2009 following which she went to stay at her maternal aunt's house in South Delhi. According to the prosecution, while she was staying at her maternal aunt's place, the accused started visiting her and one day asked her to accompany him for an interview. The police had alleged that despite her resistance, Manoj had physical relations with her and took her nude photographs on his mobile. He had threatened to expose her compromising pictures if she told anyone that he had raped her, the police had said. The court, however, freed Manoj observing the woman had "stated that the accused had called her once or twice in connection with providing a job and she once met him but denied she was ever raped by him. "Rather she deposed that her nude photograph was shown to her husband by Sunil Tyagi, a friend of her husband, who alleged that he has received the MMS from the accused". "...But there is no evidence if MMS travelled from his (accused) mobile to the mobile of Sunil and then to the mobile of her husband. Even then Sunil has not been made a witness in the present case," the court said, adding that the accused is entitled to benefit of doubt. It also said the woman's aunt and her husband had also deposed that the Manoj had not raped her.
