Haryana BJP chief’s son arrested for alleged stalking

CHANDIGARH : The son of Haryana’s ruling BJP chief was arrested yesterday along with his friend for allegedly stalking a girl here.
Both the accused, Vikas Barala and Ashish Kumar, were released later on bail as they were booked under bailable sections of the IPC and the Motor Vehicles Act.
As the issue triggered a political outcry, Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar said the law will take its own course.
Haryana BJP chief Subhash Barala said he respects the law and the “truth” will come out through the court.
The incident came to light when a girl called up the police last night, complaining that two boys were chasing her.
“We received a complaint from a girl (who was driving a car) that somebody was chasing her. We flashed the number of vehicle and found two boys sitting in the SUV. Then PCR staff located them and apprehended them,” UT Chandigarh Police DSP Satish Kumar told reporters here today.
