Amidst an action-packed day when the farmers' march took precedence over all other news, this newspaper carried a report of a man who was nabbed by the Government Railway Police (GRP). This man had been stalking a woman for the past month. The report talks about how the man used to follow her on public transport, especially trains, to her destination. He would also stare at her while commuting, and once, even followed her to a mall.

It was prudent of the woman to file a complaint and for the police to take action. Stalking can turn dangerous but is often brushed off as innocuous behaviour. As stalking falls in a grey area, the stalker can always claim to be travelling in the same direction or just happen to be at the same place as the woman is; it is not taken seriously.
