New Delhi, June 23: A man has been arrested for harassing a woman by sending her obscene texts and telephone calls for two years, police said. Police describe the accused, Nadeem Mirza, as a "psychic stalker" and it was because of his behaviour that the victim had to change the city along with her family.

Mirza (26), a graduate from Jamia Millia Islamia, was arrested by the north district police on Thursday from Turkman Gate. Mirza runs a mobile repair shop and was held after technical surveillance, said Sindhu Pillai, deputy commissioner of police (north).

"The psychic stalker has been held for sending sleazy, and obscene SMS to the woman and her family for over two years," she said. The complainant, a PhD scholar of Delhi University approached police on June 7 complaining against an anonymous person who was sending her objectionable text messages. "The accused would call the complainant's brother and threaten him of dire consequences if the matter was reported to police. Due to this persistent mental harassment, the girl's family shifted her residence to Sahibabad in UP," she added.

The caller had frequently changed his phones but all the call locations were traced to Turkman Gate in north Delhi. "The accused had earlier met the sister of the complainant and taken her cell number. In 2010, he had tried to make lewd advances towards the complainant but she had strongly objected," Pillai said.

Noida, Jul 28: A doctor admitted at a private hospital in Noida has been accused of sexually harassing a patient in his isolation ward, where both were undergoing treatment for COVID-19, the police said.

The 20-year-old woman, in her complaint to the police, alleged that the incident took place on Monday and based on that a case was filed at the local expressway police station, they said.

A senior police official said an investigation is underway and there might be lapses on part of the hospital which allegedly admitted a man and a woman in the same isolation ward, in violation of the norms.

The woman and the doctor had tested positive for coronavirus last week, according to officials.

"The woman was in the isolation ward of the private hospital. There was a man, a medical practitioner, who too was infected with coronavirus and was sharing the ward with her," Additional Deputy Commissioner of Police, Noida, Ranvijay Singh said.

He said the woman alleged molestation and upon being informed, the police immediately lodged a case and initiated a probe into the matter.

"There appears to be some irresponsibility on part of the hospital too. We are communication with the medical departments to check whether the patients were being kept in accordance with the guidelines," Mr Singh said.

He said the accused is still in isolation but the police will reach out for his statement following due protocols of COVID-19.

"All necessary action will be taken as per the truth that will emerge after a thorough investigation," Mr Singh said.
