The woman had approached Civil Lines police station alleging that one Inspector Rajpal Dabas had been stalking her for sometime. As the police didn't take any action for a month, the woman then approached the court under section 156/3 of IPC to lodge a FIR against the cop.

"The inspector had been following me for a long time. On November 4, I lodged a complaint at Civil Lines police station against him but no action was. Then I decided to move the court. On December 18, we approached Karkardooma Court,"u00a0u00a0 said the complainant Preeti (name changed).On Thursday, court issued a notice to SHO Civil Lines to file an Action Taken Report on the victim's complaint," said Rakhi Dubey, advocate of the victim.
