Days after DJ Varnika Kundu was reportedly stalked by BJP chief Subhash Barala’s son, Vikas in Chandigarh, a new incident – this time in Gurugram – has come to light.

A woman, who was returning home to Rajeev Chowk from her office late on 7 August on her scooter, was stalked by two men in a car for around four kilometres.

In a complaint filed at Gurugram’s Sector 14 police station, the woman, who works in an MNC, said the men tried to obstruct her path before she managed to lose them near Atul Katarya Chowk. The woman refused to speak to the media and her parents said she was extremely traumatised.

She also said in her complaint that there were no police postings on the entire stretch of the road. She allegedly tried to call the ‘100’ helpline too, but in vain.

When The Quint retraced the route that the woman took, we found no police posts or personnel on the the entire four-km stretch. The only police post on it was not even manned.

“We have registered a case and have put two teams in place to look for the accused. We are also looking through CCTV footage of the area to identify them,” said Sandeep Khirwar, Commissioner of Police, Gurugram.
