A stranger who had asked about a woman's pet, while she was walking her dog in Marine Drive, turned out to be a stalker. This man sent unsolicited messages on social media demanding sexual favours. The target recently even got a parcel containing undergarments with a note from the stalker.

The stalker, Pradosh Naik, was eventually arrested by the Marine Drive police and was released on conditional bail by the Esplanade court, a report in this paper said. This is the paper's follow-up account after first reporting the incident on July 31.
