A 21-year-old auto driver has been arrested by the Tilak Nagar police for allegedly stalking a woman and flashing her in broad daylight near Vidya Vihar railway station. The incident occurred on Tuesday when the woman, working at the nearby government hospital, was on the way to work. Taken aback by the indecent behaviour, the woman raised an alarm and alerted the passers-by. The auto driver was then apprehended by the public and handed over to the police. The accused has been identified as Shahanvaz Ansari.
Social activists in the area have claimed that the culprit is a habitual offender who has been stalking women on the deserted road near Vidya Vihar railway station on its east side. They allege that he would daily stand at the location and harass women passing by, particularly when they were alone. The road is commonly used by staff from a nearby government hospital as a shortcut from the Vidya Vihar railway station.
