The accused first contacted her in May 2022, claiming he had obtained her phone number from a matrimonial website and expressing interest in marriage, which she rejected.”Despite this, the accused allegedly continued to make missed calls and send messages to the doctor.

According to the police, the accused began visiting the hospital frequently, asking doctors and staff about her whereabouts and leaving letters addressed to her. On Wednesday, when the doctor was informed that the accused was once again on the hospital premises searching for her, she immediately alerted the hospital’s security staff.
Security personnel intercepted the accused near the blood bank on the second floor of the hospital and handed him over to the Agripada police. A case was subsequently registered against the accused under Section 78 (stalking) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023.
