According to police, the woman, who resides within Wathoda Police Station limits, had earlier developed a friendship with the accused due to work-related reasons. However, after noticing signs of mistrust and controlling behaviour, she ended all contact with him.
On the evening of June 21, while returning home from her job near Shahpur Chowk, the complainant was allegedly followed by Jitendra, who approached her on a two-wheeler.
He confronted her about avoiding him and, when she attempted to leave, allegedly abused her, slapped her, and made obscene remarks, leaving her deeply shaken.
The woman approached the police the same day and filed a formal complaint. Acting swiftly, Lakadganj police arrested the accused and booked him under relevant sections of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS), including Sections 74, 75, 78, 115, 296, 351(3), and 352, which pertain to offences such as molestation, stalking, and criminal intimidation.
Officials confirmed that the accused has been sent to judicial custody.
