Even though time and again we’ve seen Bollywood glorify incessant stalking by labeling it as “love”, the reality is far from the truth. In today’s digital age, women need to sternly put their foot down when it comes to online stalking. After all, stalking might lead to sexual harassment if not handled tactfully.
Speaking of which, a twitter user recently shared her horrifying experience of cyberstalking on social media. The woman explained how she filed a complaint against a man who not only stalked all her social media platforms but also found out her personal information like her address and mobile number.
She revealed how the person kept harassing her despite the fact that she blocked him.
From twitter, to Inst to FB, he messaged me on all platforms & I blocked him everywhere. But it was shocking when he texted me on Whatsapp showing unwanted creepy interest in me, so I finally sternly replied telling him to stay away & what he’s doing is a crime. Inspite of that..

He still messaged me back apologising yet indirectly telling me that he has my personal details & my address too. He keeps saying sorry & carries on his stalking & messages.@WriterNGR YOU BETTER UNDERSTAND THAT I WILL NOT TOLERATE THIS NONSENSE, WITH ME OR WITH ANY OTHER WOMAN!

@WriterNGR, when I warned you that it’s a crime, u apologised & still continued stalking & messaging me, to the extent of finding my address & personal details! Get ready to face action!@MahaCyber1 @Cyberdost @PuneCityPolice @CPPuneCity
Request you to please take strict action.— Urrmi (@Urrmi_) November 18, 2020
Speaking from her personal experience, the woman shared how we might feel thrilled by looking at stalkers in movies but such incidences are creepy and disgusting in real life.
As long as it's in reel life, we feel all excited & thrilled about movies like Darr and feel bad for SRK and alike in such movies….
until we face something similar in real life and realise how fuckin' shitty, creepy and disgusting stalkers can be!!!Bast***s!!

Many people agreed with her and applauded her for firmly taking action against her stalker.
I am so sorry that you are going through with this unexpected reality.
It’s tough, hard, time consuming, irritating but always keep in mind that our prayers & good vibes are with you always.
Your fight is not only against the person but with their mindset of thinking tht it’s OK— Gᴀᴊᴀɴᴀɴ (@beingquietsoul) November 20, 2020
If you confront these creeps, they (mostly) back step. If you keep ignoring (read tolerating) they feel encouraged. You took right measures. Thane se ek phone jata hai na, accho accho ki patloon gili ho jati h.

He seems to be “not all there”. Definitely creepy and obsessed. I hope the police takes appropriate action.

Good decision. More power to you . He should be punished or else he will do the same with someone else. 😡

No means no. It’s essential that we take action against such people so that they don’t dare to harass other women. What do you think of this incident? Tell us.
