LUCKNOW:: A man has been arrested for allegedly stalking, sexually harassing and thrashing a girl student of a private university in Lucknow.

The victim has reported the incident to the police at Gautam Palli. She claims that two years ago, through a mutual connection, she met the alleged defendant, Mohammed Farhan of the Martinpurwa neighbourhood in the Gautam Palli police station area, and they grew close.

Later, however, the girl came to know that Farhan had a few bad habits.

"I started distancing myself from him. This irritated him and he began pressuring me to be with him. He started visiting the university where I study and even reached my hostel where he sexually harassed me, she  said, addging that  Out of fear I vacated the hostel room and began to live at a house on rent in the Malhaur locality to pursue my studies."

She claimed that Farhan arrived in the room where he misbehaved with her after discovering her address through some of his contacts."He has repeatedly committed the offence in the past, but I have never filed a police report out of concern that I would be publicly humiliated. Additionally, he spoke negatively about my character to my parents "She asserted.
