A woman in Nalasopara, faced relentless harassment and threats over phone calls after allegedly rejecting a man’s marriage proposal. The accused repeatedly contacted her from different numbers and even sent videos of a gun being fired and gym dumbbells as intimidation tactics. Despite blocking 150–200 numbers, the harassment persisted.  Seeking help, she approached the police, but instead of taking immediate action, officers reportedly advised her to switch off her phone since the threats were coming via calls. Following their suggestion, she turned off her number. 

However, when she reactivated it three months later, the threats resumed. She then filed a complaint at Achole police station. Despite this, the police registered only a non-cognisable offence and merely summoned the accused, warning him before letting him go without further action.
