On Friday afternoon, when the woman was on her way home, she saw the accused, Rehmat Ali Ansari, following her.

The woman screamed for help, following which some locals caught Ansari and handed him over to the police.

The police registered a case under relevant sections of the Indian Penal Code against Ansari and seized his phone. They found four pictures of the woman from his phone.
