Haryana stalking case: Sena mocks BJP for preaching on 'women schemes'

August 06, 2017 13:23

Following the arrest of Bharatiya Janata Party state president Subhash Barala's son for stalking a girl in Chandigarh, the Shiv Sena on Sunday ridiculed the saffron party for boasting about its various "schemes" for women when on the other hand its leaders are harassing women.

"On one hand the Bharatiya Janata Party boasts about its various schemes for women and giving them honor and on the other hand we have a BJP leader whose son is stalking a woman. It is very embarrassing," Shiv Sena leader Manish Kayande said.

The victim, who is an IAS officer's daughter, thanked Chandigarh Police for rescuing her on time, and pointed out that if she was a common man's daughter the case would not be taken so seriously.

"I was coming back to my home when they started stalking me. They tried to threaten me by trying to stop my car. Suddenly, they came in front of my car and blocked the way. I reversed my car immediately and called the police. Police heard whole the matter and assured me of providing the help. Soon the police came and arrested the accused. I am very thankful to Chandigarh Police who came to my rescue on time," she told the media.

Vikas Bharala was arrested yesterday on charges of stalking daughter of an IAS officer.

On the basis of complaint filed by daughter of the IAS officer, a case was registered against Vikas and other youth under relevant sections of the Indian Penal Code.
