Incidences of stalking, though not unusual thoroughly rattle any woman. A lady in the capital was a victim of just such an incident or so she thought! When three men allegedly followed her around all day, from the moment she left home, the gallant belle had them arrested in a plucky move.
The twist in the tale came when the trio told the police that they had been hired by her husband! Intrigued? It gets better!
A senior police officer, who did not wish to be named, said the woman narrated the incident to the police. The complaint stated that she had left her home in Punjabi Bagh on Monday morning for shopping and to meet her friends. In the afternoon when she was in Connaught Place, she realised three men had been following her the entire time!
“The woman claimed that she panicked when she realised the three men were following her. She said they followed her to a hotel in Chanakyapuri, where she had gone to meet a friend over lunch,” the officer said.
The woman alleged that she called her family and informed them about the three ‘stalkers’. This was upon noticing that they continued to follow her to Khan Market from the Chanakyapuri hotel. When her family members arrived, the woman raised an alarm and they nabbed the men. When some shopkeepers and shoppers learned that the three were stalking the women, one of them called the police, reports HT.
“A police team reached there and brought the suspects to the Tughlak Road police station,” shares the police official. Deputy commissioner of police (New Delhi) Madhur Verma said on Tuesday that the three men were arrested on the charges of stalking after the woman filed a case at the Tughlak Road police station. Cops identified the three as Hemant Aggarwal, 28, Babar Ali,19 and Amit, 22.
“During questioning, they identified themselves as private detectives and claimed that they were hired by the woman’s husband to spy on her!” the official added anonymously.
“The husband was called in and he admitted that he had hired them four days ago, as he suspected that his wife was cheating on him,” the officer said.
The police confirmed that Aggarwal runs a private detective agency in East Delhi’s Shahdara. The other two men were his associates.
Moral of the story- Watch out folks, your next stalker might just be engaged by your very own suspicious boo!
