A 43-year-old man has been arrested for stalking a 20-year-old woman near a demolition site in Nalasopara, where hundreds of families have been left homeless after the civic body razed their unauthorised residential buildings.

The accused, identified as Ulfat Gaffar Shaikh, had been soliciting sexual favours from the woman, who had just come back from Nalasopara railway station along with her elder sister and grandmother on Friday evening. This incident has left those displaced from the demolition worried for the safety of other women there.
