Vikas Barala has been arrested minutes after he reached the Chandigarh police station. His bail bond has been cancelled and an additional charge of attempt to abduct has been added.
The Chandigarh Police on Wednesday issued summons to Vikas Barala, the
prime accused in the case, asking him to appear
before them for further investigation.
Vikas, the son of BJP Haryana
chief Subhash Barala, and his friend, Ashish Kumar, have been accused of
stalking and chasing 29-year-old Varnika Kundu in an attempt to kidnap
her.
Varnika, who is the daughter of senior Haryana-cadre IAS officer V S
Kundu, alleged she was chased for approximately 30 minutes by the
accused on Friday night. The duo was arrested and booked under section
354 D (stalking) of the IPC and 185 of the Motor Vehicle Act (driving by
a drunken person or by a person under the influence of drugs) but were
later granted bail.
