Delhi: Stalked, harassed by neighbor, police aspirant hangs herself

Describing her ordeal, her mother said, "When she would go out jogging, that man would chase her, offer to train her and take the opportunity to touch her inappropriately."

Earlier this week, he allegedly offered to get her a job with the Delhi Police, but only if she married him.

When she refused, he threatened to kill her family, her father said.

Soon after, the family confronted the accused, but his relatives ordered them to vacate the house instead.

Apart from blaming the men for "ruining her life," she wrote in her suicide note that her death could save her family from eviction.

However, the landlord said they hadn't been paying rent on time, and denied the accused had anything to do with her.

On Friday morning, she hung herself with a dupatta from a fan when she was alone at home.

A neighbor who heard her cries alerted her family, but by the time they reached, she had died.

A case has now been lodged against the accused and his friends, who are absconding.

Stalking is punishable by imprisonment of up to three years under Section 354D.

Recently, a jilted lover stabbed a woman to death in Delhi. A Chennai techie was hacked to death for rejecting a man's advances.
