"Through the bike number, the accused has been traced, and teams have been formed to arrest him," DCP Keshav Kumar, overseeing South Zone, stated.
Meanwhile, reflecting on the harrowing experience, the victim explained how she had slowed down her scooter in hopes of letting the man pass, but he continued to follow her until the harassment occurred.
