Delhi: Student arrested for stalking air hostess on Instagram

New Delhi : A class 12 student has been arrested by the cops for allegedly stalking, threatening and harassing a 20-year-old woman on social media.

The 17-year-old boy has been identified as the alleged stalker from Delhi's Krishna Nagar. The police claimed that the case has been solved within five hours of receiving the complaint.

The woman, who is pursuing an air hostess course, filed a complaint against the man who was allegedly stalking her and sharing obscene content on the social media.

Based on her complaint, the cops have filed a case under Indian Penal Code Sections 354(D) (stalking), 506 (punishment for criminal intimidation) and 509 (word, gesture or act intended to insult the modesty of a woman) at Jagat Puri police station, said R Sathiyasundaram, Deputy Commissioner of Police (Shahdara).

Now, since the boy is not 18 year old, he will be produced before the Juvenile Justice Board.
