The deceased’s brother, who reported the event to authorities, said that the accused resided in their neighbourhood and had been bothering his sister for a long time. ‘He was pressuring her for marriage and even threatened her with dire consequences. My sister informed the family about the harassment three months ago, following which we filed the complaint at Moti Nagar police station.’
When the stalker was given bail, her family assumed that he would stop harassing her. ‘We didn’t know that he was planning to kill my sister’, the victim’s brother said.
