The State must ensure that all citizens, particularly old women and children, do not live in a sense of fear and insecurity,&#8221; the bench said in its 22-page verdict upholding the trial court&#8217;s decision.<\/p>\n<p>According to the police, the incident occurred on the morning of December 15, 2010 when the woman was on her way to a relative&#8217;s home on her scooty.<\/p>\n<p>When she had stopped at a red-light, the convict suddenly came from behind and forcibly sat on her two-wheeler and ordered her to start moving if she did not want to get shot, the police had said.<\/p>\n<p>On reaching near Jaipur Golden Hospital in Northwest Delhi, Mishra asked the woman to marry him and threatened to shoot her if she disagreed.<\/p>\n<p>She stopped the scooty and asked Mishra to stop chasing and harassing her, but he took out a gun and shot her in the back, the police had said, adding that the public apprehended the convict and handed him over to the cops.<\/p>\n<p>The doctors who treated her had told the court that the bullet had hit her spine, paralysing her from below the waist for life.<\/p>\n<p>According to the woman&#8217;s complaint, Mishra started stalking her since 2008 when she was working in a Gurgaon- based company. As a result of the harassment by him, she had left the job and started teaching aerobics near her home.<\/p>\n<p>However, Mishra had traced her and started making calls threatening to harm her and her family. Fed up by his advances and threats, one-and-a-half month before the incident, she had lodged a complaint against him at Miya Wali police station, she had told the court.<\/p>\n<p>Source :\u00a0 PTI<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u00a0The Delhi High Court has directed the police to treat complaints of stalking seriously after a young woman was crippled for life on being shot by her alleged stalker for rejecting his advances.
