He came to Delhi in 1990 with his family and started assisting his father at a tailoring shop. In 2004, he and his family were thrashed by locals and were forced to leave Mayur Vihar after he had attempted to sexually assault a child from the locality he lived.
Rastogi, who has five children, two of them girls, was also was jailed for six months in Rudrapur, Uttarakhand, for a similar offence in 2006.

He carried a list of girl schools in his pocket. He would follow a group for a short distance and then target a girl who would stray from others, a police officer told media.
According to police, the paedophile was a repeat offender and used to travel to Delhi from Uttar Pradesh every fortnight.
The accused told police that after he used to find his prey, mostly school-going girls, he used to mislead her on the pretext that her father had sent some clothes to give her and take her to an isolated place.
