Monday, 17 December 2018 | GAYATHRI MANI | NEW DELHI

A 44-year-old woman had accused Nikhil Alva the son of Margaret Alva (former Cabinet Minister and Governor of Indian National Congress) for stalking and harassing her online by sending obscene and disgraceful languages laced e-mails.

The complaint, a copy of which is with The Pioneer was filed on December 4 and has been converted into First information Report (FIR) no 0203/2018 under sections 354D/509 of the Indian Penal Code (IPC) at DLF-Phase-III police station. The complainant has also filed a complaint with Haryana Woman Commission (HWC). The complainant alleged that days have been passed but neither police took any action nor she got any support from the HWC.

The complainant alleged that Alva has been stalking; insulting her modesty and mentally harassing her for the past three years even after she warned him not do so. “Nikhil Alva on various email groups of residents which were created to act as an internal platform for discussions on various issues arising in the Lagoon Complex in which more than 343 members are part of including me and Alva. He has repeatedly, maliciously targeted me with an intent and motive to cast false and incorrect aspersions from last three years,” said the complainant in the FIR.

The complainant further stated that Alva has been willfully, deliberately nad intentionally posting emails on various groups with ‘unwelcome sexual overtone’ using highly inappropriate and grossly offensive language.

 “Despite a clear indication of disinterest from side and advice to stop loose expressions and obnoxious language in the mails, Alva on many occasions tries to systematically assassinate my character by calling me voyeur, fake, disgraceful, a con, liar, manipulative, shrewd, obsessed, incredibly sick, twisted brain and psychotic lady and tried to portray a bad picture of mine in the eyes of every one,” said the complainant.

The FIR further stated that the alleged accused has also threatened her to defame by publishing all the mails in a book. “Due to Alva, my fellow neighbours and numerous other people have also started criticizing me with their opinion on the basis of Alva’s mail. It is not only causing me mental harassment but also broken the peace in my family,” said the complainant.

When asked a police official tasked with the probe in this case said that Alva has been asked to join investigation on Monday. “There is groupism among RWA members of Lagoon Complex.  Some members of the housing complex have told the police that the complaint could be an offshoot of the rivalry among members. Any penal action will be initiated after the probe finds inappropriate behavior on part of Nikhil Alva”, the official added.
