Only a few days after the shocker from Chandigarh, where a BJP leader’s son was accused of stalking a woman, another horrifying instance of stalking, this time from Mumbai, has come to light.
Aditi Nagpaul, a designer based in Mumbai, took to Facebook to narrate her ordeal. A man allegedly followed her up to her apartment at 2 am. In her post, she wrote:
He dint have any fear in his eyes [sic], a fear of being captured by security cameras, interrogation by security guards or threats of Police! He just hung around coolly in his car long after the incident very comfortable in getting his pictures clicked! [sic]
The man, an IT professional from the city, has been arrested in relation with the case, following a police complaint filed by Nagpaul.
Nagpaul said she was returning at night with her two children when the man, Niteshkumar Sharma, saw her and began following them in his car. He went to the extent of going up to her house and ringing the bell at 2 am. Sharma reportedly left, but only after Nagpaul raised an alarm.
