A 45-year-old ex-army man, who used to work as a security guard in a hostel in K.K. Nagar, was arrested under the Tamil Nadu Prohibition of Women Harassment Act for stalking and harassing a medical student.
According to police, the 21-year-old woman from Palakkad, Kerala was a resident of the hostel. The accused, R. Ganesan, from Arupukottai had worked there since 2012.
Early this year, after Ganesan proposed to the girl and she informed the college dean about the incident, he was fired. On November 20, she received a letter from Ganesan asking asking her to marry him and that he would discuss this in person.
The girl informed her father about the incident. On Thursday, the girl complained to the police when Ganesan came to see her. The police arrested and remanded him in judicial custody.
