A 32-year-old man named from Mahishadal in East Midnapore district of West Bengal has been held for allegedly stalking cricket great Sachin Tendulkar’s daughter Sara.
As per reports, the stalker, Debkumar Maity, had made lewd comment about Sachin’s daughter and made 20 calls at Tendulkar’s residence. The stalker, who is reportedly mentally unstable, had even threatened to kidnap Sachin’s daughter.
As per reports in TOI, Debkumar Maity told police that, “I saw her on TV sitting at the pavilion during a match and fell in love…I want to marry her. I fetched the landline number of Tendulkar and have called on it some 20 times…Have never seen her in person.”
Debkumar is likely going to stand before the Haldia court and after that he will be taken to Mumbai on transit remand.
Maity is a college dropout and currently unemployed. His family is claiming that he is not mentally stable.
“We had no idea how he got embroiled in this case. Even at home he used to torture his parents. He lost his father recently. He has been undergoing medical treatment for his condition for last eight years,” said the stalker’s relatives.
The relative of the accused has claim that Debkumar is a very good painter. A diary has also been recovered from his house in which he has described Sachin’s daughter as his wife.
However, how the accused managed to get Tendulkar’s landline number is a mystery to police and it is being investigated. The medical investigation is also going to take place to examine whether the accused is mentally unstable or not.
Earlier, Sara had filed a complaint against the stalker at the Bandra police station.
