It looks like you have not given a valid file location.

The error is saying that it thinks you have given it a whl file to install but it can't find it.

I suggest you check you file path again.

Make sure it is located at C:\Users\Om and it is called exactly the same as the filename you have put down. It should match opencv_python-3.2.0-cp36-cp36m-win32.whl exactly.

Ensure you do not rename the whl file.

Correct that and it will attempt an install and if that does not work you will get another error.
