A case was registered against a man in the national capital after a German national, who lived as a tenant on his premises, complained of molestation, a senior Delhi Police officer said on Saturday.
The action comes in the wake of a complaint by the German woman to the Delhi Commission for Women (DCW), which forwarded it to the police.
