With Yuvraj’s arrest, police also solved a stalking and assault case from September 24.
A 20-year-old woman had complained to the police that Yuvraj had been stalking her and assaulted her after she snapped all ties with him.
She said though she was friends with Yuvraj since 2018, she had stopped talking to him due to his alleged criminal past.
When she stopped answering his phone calls, he started calling her mother’s mobile number. On September 24, he assaulted her and tried to molest her near Dev Samaj College in Sector 45.
On her complaint, a case under Sections 323 (voluntarily causing hurt), 341 (wrongful restraint), 354 (assault or criminal force to woman with intent to outrage her modesty), 354D (stalking) and 506 (criminal intimidation) of the Indian Penal Code was registered on September 26.
