• Harassment from ex boyfriend

I got a request to connect on my Bharat matrimony site of a guy who claimed to be well settled, recently divorced man, in September 2017. I tried contacting friends and family to get to know his whereabouts as any other alliance that I've received. he was in Kerala and I was in Bangalore. In the two months that I got to know him, he did come to meet me and got his family to meet me too claiming that he was serious about the relationship. But by early December 2017 I broke it off with him as I discovered that neither was he employed, he also had a lot of debt on his head. This was not something that I was agreeing to get into. But more importantly, he expected me to have sexual relationship with him before marriage which I was not consenting to. He used to try and emotionally black mail me into having sex with him every time he would come to meet me in Bangalore. Not able to handle his anger tantrums when I used to say no to it, he would get verbally abusive. Fearing a physical abuse I asked him to leave my place when he had come to visit in December 2017 and that was the end of this less than two month relationship with this man. He tried to get in touch with me and I blocked him in every possible way after I clearly and in explicit manner told him that I don't want to do anything with him. Meanwhile I also managed to get in touch with his ex wife after I broke up with him through sheer coincidence and she confirmed that she filed a divorce from him due to physical and sexual abuse. This reaffirmed my decision of staying away from him forever. He on the other hand started getting new numbers and calling me again and again to try and get back. While I kept blocking him. Scared of how abnoxious his behaviour can get I thought it was safe for me to change my appartment. I incurred a lot of expenses in this process to move and get another place. I was quite comfortable in my old place and it was safe and convenient for me to got to my work place. This moving caused me a great deal of inconvenience, emotionally and financially. I got in touch with his dad over the phone and explained that if I continue to get harrassed by his son, I will have to take the help of the police to get him to stay away. He apologized on his son's behalf and said that he will talk to his son tot ell him to stay away. For a while there was peace after which he again started sending mails to get in touch with me. I did not reply to any of his mails or messages and ignored it hoping it would die down, but it did not. I tried reading up online of how to file a complaint on harassment but I do not have his address which seems to be a requirement to file a complaint online. It's been more than a year and he still tries various ways of contacting me. And I keep blocking him in every avenue. My dad passed away ten years back and I only have my mother and another unmarried sister in my family. This is causing me great deal of stress and I fear for my and my family members safety.

Don't worry if he continues to harrass you then you can file a stalking Complaint and other Complaint for harrassment. You don't require his address you can give phone nos of his dad and his Mobile no to police. Police are very serious about crime against women they will nab him from wherever he is.

  1. As per the information mentioned in the present query, makes it clear that you have been harassed without any fault and interest at your end.
  2. Let me tell you that you can file a criminal complain against him without even knowing his address.
  3. It would be sufficient to have his phone number or email id to track him easily.
  4. You just state everything in the written complain to the police to take strict action against him.
  5. I am sure that police will definitely help you out, and there is nothing now you need to be worried about as you are on the safe and reliable  portal to help you at any point of time in future.

Approach the women helpline cell of the Police and take their assistance in the matter. This is a fit case to be reported to the women helpline cell of the Bengaluru Police. Share whatever little details that you have got with respect to this guy, such as his phone number and email ID and the Police will take care of the rest.

Your verbal refusal does not seem to have worked anymore and you must now take recourse to law.

Visit the police station and lodge a complaint of stalking and outraging your modesty.

Once FIR would be registered and the Police would call him for investigation you can get rid of him easily. 

Your act as a civilised woman is not paying any result and hence explore the legal options.

You can go to the police station in person and lodge a complaint giving his phone number.

A criminal complaint with the cyber crime police would be a better choice.

The police will be able to trace him out with the given phone number.

However since this is sensitive and the local police may not be very responsive, you may even approach the city commissioner of police office directly for an effective result.
