Bengaluru: Bengaluru police have arrested a man from Haryana for allegedly harassing and stalking a city-based fitness and nutrition influencer.
The arrested person is Sudhir Kumar, 27.
Police said Sudhir was following the 34-year-old victim on Instagram. The woman is also a native of Haryana, but has lived in Bengaluru for nearly 15 years.
Investigations revealed that Kumar sent the woman obscene and sexually charged messages on the social media platform. The harassment continued on WhatsApp after he got her phone number.
On January 12, Kumar travelled from Haryana to Bengaluru, visited her gym and inquired about her. She then approached the South Women Police, who arrested the suspect.
Officials have urged victims to promptly approach the police if they face such harassment or stalking.
