Amboli police on Friday arrested two people for stalking a woman journalist on Wednesday night after she tweeted a picture of the accused and tagged the Mumbai police.

Asira Trannum, 25, shared the picture of both the accused on Thursday with their bike's registration number. The accused, aged 21 and 25, were picked up by the Mumbai police after tracing their motorcycle.

As per Trannum's complaint, she was on her way home and got into an autorickshaw at Chitrakoot Grounds in Andheri (West) at around 1 am. The two men started riding their scooter next to her vehicle, and while one of them made lewd gestures at her, the other asked her to accompany them. She clicked their pictures and then informed the police control room about the incident.

On Thursday, after registering a case under sections 354 D and 34 IPC, which deals with stalking cases, Mumbai police got 500 registration numbers identical to Asira's tweet and traced the accused.

The police revealed that the two, after they were apprehended, confessed to following the rickshaw in which Trannum was sitting.

The two, who are residents of Marol, further said that they wanted to go to Juhu beach and were asking for directions from the autorickshaw driver. One of them peeked into the auto and saw Trannum, but they claim they followed the vehicle because she had clicked their picture.

An officer from Amboli police station said the case is being investigated further.
