Did you know there is a remedy to this problem — filing a complaint online? Women who are being stalked can complain to the National Commission for Women NCW and the Commission will take the matter up with the police. Any woman, in any part of India, can file this complaint.
The Commission asks the police to then expedite the investigation. In serious cases, the commission forms an inquiry committee, which makes a spot inquiry, examines witnesses, collects evidence, etc. The Commission also has powers to summon the accused, the witnesses and police records, to facilitate the inquiry.

Louis Stalking: Define the Crime Stalking is a repetitive pattern of unwanted, harassing or threatening behavior committed by one person against another.
Acts include: telephone harassment, being followed, receiving unwanted gifts, and other similar forms of intrusive behavior. Most stalkers know their victims, and either had or wanted to have a romantic relationship with them at some point. For these stalkers, stalking is about retaining control over the victim. Some people equate control with love or are willing to substitute control when the other party does not like them.
These stalkers can become violent when their desires are ignored or left unmet, so if you are concerned that a former romantic interest may be stalking you, you need immediate help.
Many stalkers see their needs as simply more important than the needs of others. This feeling of entitlement compels them to engage in stalking behaviour. In most cases, the only way to get the stalking to stop is to involve the authorities. Some stalking is not particularly intrusive, only crossing the line occasionally. For example, a former romantic interest might call you every day or a friend might send you too many messages on the Internet. In these cases, the stalking is not a threat, just a source of annoyance.
You will have to be clear and direct, yet gentle.
