Chandigarh Stalking Case: Accused Vikas Barala's bail plea rejected
Police arrested Vikas Barala (23) and Ashish Kumar (27) for stalking Varnika Kundu from the Housing Board light point on the same night of the incident.
However, both were later released on bail. Charges against them were also dropped leading to a controversy.
Later, Vikas was summoned and arrested on Aug 9.
The victim Varnika Kundu, who is a video jockey, alleged that her car was followed by a Tata Safari Storm (HR-23G-1008).
According to her, the men driving the SUV were drunk and pulled up close to her car several times.
She alleged that they even tried to block her way to force her to other routes.
She claimed that at one point, the SUV blocked her way and the person in the co-driver’s seat got down and started walking towards her vehicle.
She then reversed the vehicle and started moving. However, the men continued to follow her.
The girl then called up the 100 helpline and gave the number details of the SUV and her location.
