Mumbai: In a case starkly resembling the recent stalking of a 29-year-old DJ by two men in an SUV in Chandigarh, the Amboli police arrested a Malad-based IT professional on Tuesday afternoon for stalking a fashion designer around 2 am on Monday.
The accused, Nitesh Kumar Sharma, who was driving a Honda Civic, allegedly tailed the complainant, who was with her two children. Sharma later stood outside the woman’s building and went up to ring her doorbell, but left soon after she raised an alarm.
The complainant then lodged a complaint at the Amboli police station and officials arrested Sharma by booking him under sections pertaining to stalking.
Stating that Sharma had been arrested, Bharat Gaikwad, senior police inspector of Amboli police station, said, “We are questioning the residents of the complainant’s building, who helped her, as well as other eyewitnesses.”
Mr Gaikwad said the complainant was returning from a party in Andheri with her children early on Monday morning, and they were on the way to her residence in Lokhandwala. After chasing the complainant’s car, Kumar allegedly went up to her residence and rang her doorbell.
