65% rise in reported stalking crimes against women,within a span of 2 years.
The rising stalking crime rate against women in the capital needs to be addressed immediately,How can we expect women to move around freely with such high crime rates.@rajnathsingh @CPDelhi @LtGovDelhi pic.twitter.com/n91ZRQMrCn— AAP (@AamAadmiParty) March 7, 2018
There are numerous cases of stalker’s out on bail that have attacked their victims with acid or rape and even murdered them.
It makes no sense. We need a law that keeps stalkers and criminals in jail till they are reformed .

Women in India don't have legal recourse against crimes like stalking and harassment. It's high time women in the capital city felt safe.
Delhi needs a law to punish a handful of men who are stalking and harassing women. #NoBail4Stalkers @TheQuint @SayftyCom @crowdnewsing pic.twitter.com/In8KMSowaE— AAP (@AamAadmiParty) March 7, 2018
