Lucknow, September 6: A young man and his four associates have been booked for stalking a young woman, making obscene gestures, misbehaving with her and then fleeing with her two-wheeler in the Madiaon area of the state capital. The accused was identified as Nirdesh Verma, 25. He was allegedly stalking the woman, 23, for a long time and was forcing her into submission for love, but the woman had snubbed him.

When I objected to his act, he abused me and pushed me down on the ground from the vehicle.
