Celebrity status comes with all sorts of negatives. One such being stalking. Celebrities being stalked comes as no major news, it's something we hear about almost every day. However, recent reports suggest that cricket sensation, Sachin Tendulkar's daughter recently underwent the trauma too. And the buzz is that a 32-year-old man has been arrested for the same on Sunday for allegedly stalking and harassing former cricketer Sachin Tendulkar's daughter, Sara.
The man who has been identified as Debkumar Maity is apparently a college dropout and is currently unemployed too. Debkumar had allegedly made 20 calls to the Tendulkar residence and made lewd comments about her. He even threatened to kidnap her and had said he wanted to marry her. The police are trying to figure out how the man got hold of the Tendulkar's landline number.
According to a leading news portal, the man "fell in love" with Sara after he saw her on TV. "I saw her on TV sitting at the pavilion during a match and fell in love...I want to marry her. I fetched the landline number of Tendulkar and have called on it some 20 times...Have never seen her in person," he said. After Sara filed the complaint with the Bandra Police against the man, the police began its investigation and arrested the man. Debkumar Maity will first be produced before a Haldia court after which he will be taken to Mumbai. Whilst the investigation, the police also found that Sara's name was written in a diary found in his house.
The man's family has reportedly claimed that he is mentally unstable. "We had no idea how he got embroiled in this case. Even at home, he used to torture his parents. He lost his father recently. He has been undergoing medical treatment for his condition for last eight years," a relative said.
