Chennai: Stalker Attacks 20-Year-Old Woman Outside Metro Station With Beer Bottle

Chennai Stalking Case: Based on the complaint from the woman, the police arrested the accused under charges of attempt to murder and sexual harassment.

Chennai: A stalker attacked and injured a young woman with a glass bottle after she rejected his advances near Kilpauk Metro Station in Chennai. Following the incident, the police arrested the accused on Tuesday. 

According to a report on The Hindu, a 24-year-old man, Naveen, who claimed to be a personnel in the Navy, got connected with the woman from Thiruvananthapuram on social media six months ago. Recently, the woman who completed her hotel management course came to Chennai for training at a hotel in Kilpauk. 

The accused who reportedly got to know about this started to make advances and continued to harass her. When he proposed, the woman began to avoid him. 

Against this backdrop, when the woman was on her way to her accommodation on Monday at 8.20 pm, Naveen followed and confronted her. 

Both of them soon got into an argument. In a fit of rage, the accused suddenly pulled out a glass beer bottle, attacked her in the face and fled the scene. The people who were nearby immediately rushed the woman to a private hospital on Poonamalle Highway.
