A 17-year-old Class 12 science student was allegedly stalked and harassed by a youth in Ahmedabad’s Amraiwadi after she rejected his love proposal.
Youth Repeatedly Followed Minor
The minor, the daughter of a businessman living in Amraiwadi, studies at a school in Maninagar and attends a tuition class in the same area.
According to the complaint, the accused, identified by police as Harsh Sen, came in contact with the girl through Instagram around four months ago. The two spoke for some time before Sen allegedly proposed to her about two months ago.
The girl rejected the proposal and stopped communicating with him. Police said the accused allegedly continued following her while she travelled to school and tuition classes, causing her mental distress.
Accused Reaches Tuition Centre
The matter came to light when the accused allegedly reached the tuition centre while the girl was attending her class.
He reportedly approached the security guard and reception staff and insisted that the girl be called out to meet him. When staff questioned him, he allegedly behaved rudely.
The staff refused to call the girl outside, following which the accused left the premises. The tuition centre management later checked CCTV footage and informed the girl and her parents about the incident.
Amraiwadi Police Begin Investigation
The girl’s father subsequently approached Amraiwadi police and lodged a complaint.
Amraiwadi police station PI R B Chavda said a case had been registered under relevant sections, including the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) Act, based on the father’s complaint.
Police said preliminary investigation indicated that Harsh Sen had been harassing the minor. The police have initiated steps to arrest him.
