The CEO of a Bengaluru-based startup company turned into a full-fledged stalker after his girlfriend broke up with him because of repeated physical and verbal abuse. After the woman lodged a complaint against 28-year-old entrepreneur Rahul Singh, the abuse turned into round-the-clock stalking.

A complaint was filed at the HSR Layout police station against Rahul Singh. 24-year-old Aditi (name changed) was in a relationship with Rahul for over a year. She accused Rahul of physical abuse during the period they were in a relationship and broke up with him.



In early 2019 the two of them decided to call off their relationship but things didn't end well.

According to a report in Bangalore Mirror, Rahul would wait outside the woman's house throughout the day and use different phone numbers and mail IDs to let her know that he was tracking her all day and was aware of every move of hers.

Speaking to Bangalore Mirror the woman said, "It only took two days for Rahul's father, Pradeep Kumar Singh, a director with a research centre, to call my mother in my hometown and threaten her to ask me to withdraw the complaint. He told her that they would kill me if I don't withdraw the case against Rahul."

As per the complaint lodged early September, Rahul broke into the victim's house and stole her phone and hacked into all her social media accounts. The woman then filed a complaint at HSR Layout police station.



The inspector said, "We called Rahul and warned him and filed an FIR. But now he's absconding and has applied for an anticipatory bail in the court."



After the police warning, things continued to worsen for Aditi. She said that Rahul kept sending her abusive messages and even bribed the security guard at her building to know her whereabouts.

"On September 18 he followed me from my office to my house and I think he had a knife or a dagger with him with which he chased me and I feared for my life," said Aditi in her statement.

Aditi then escalated the matter to DCP South East Zone and Additional Commissioner Bangalore City East Zone.



The police have now deployed police personnel near her residence for protection and a notice has been served to the accused to appear before the investigation officer.
