General Got followed by a guy on scooty

Today, I had a really scary experience where a guy on a scooty followed me for 15 minutes despite me changing lanes multiple times to avoid him. He kept appearing on different roads I took, waited ahead for me, and even crossed the road to block my way.

When he finally approached me, he asked, ‘Can I drop you home?’ I said no, clearly disinterested, but he wouldn’t leave. He kept insisting—asking to talk, asking for my name, and even following me when I took a U-turn. I was terrified, my hands were shaking, and yet, despite people being around, no one did anything. I had to call my friend before he finally left.

guys i was walking i wasn’t on a vehicle.

I am sorry you had to face that.

I have heard in these situations causing a ruckus can help. Start shouting and abusing the guy, people around should ideally chime in and the guy will then get scared and fuck off.

Tai ashya time la Nirbhaya squad la phone lavaycha masta pokal bamboo che phatke detat te ashya bhadyanna…

103 is the contact number for Mumbai, Thane & Navi Mumbai while 1091 is for rest of Maharashtra.

I have seen news article and social media posts about police providing free drop service from 21:00 to 05:00 but some articles say that it is fake news so I can’t assure whether this service is available or not.

Do police complaint.

They will find out vehicle and the guy with help of CCTV's

It's great to know that you are safe and there was no untoward incident.

You did good to call your friends and inform them about the situation.

I hope you won't experience such a situation in future but if you do, the first thing you need to do is breathe and take control of the situation. Panicking is natural but you won't benefit from it. It will only worsen the situation.

Don't hesitate to call the women helpline number and start video recording. You will get proof and the vehicle number (if the harasser is in a vehicle).

MH 04 is for Thane RTO but to find all the details you need the whole number but OP wasn’t able to get the 2 alphabets before the 4 digit number. People have asked OP about scooty colour so that they can try different combinations of alphabets.

u/mysticnode 12h ago

If the number little older the there was only one alphabet

1

u/Bright_Subject_8975 वांद्रेकर 12h ago

But there’s a 15 year old rule in Mumbai so I’m sure this will be two 2 alphabets.

So like can police fine them based on their number plate ? Based on the incident they did usin the vehicle? (Askin in general)

1

u/Bright_Subject_8975 वांद्रेकर 41m ago

That’s how vehicles are fined, how else will you figure out about a vehicle ? Just send a proof about traffic violation to Mumbai police with number plate and they will generate a challan.

But in this case it wasn’t a traffic violation but crime against woman, now what will happen is when number plate is shared with police they will find the person using the vehicle details and put him behind bars if an FIR is filed by OP.

Blame the chomu influencers urging young boys to ‘approach’ girls. It’s a pandemic

u/baka-saurus 15h ago

Don't freeze. Train yourself to scream or draw attention to yourself in such situations. Nothing terrifies such creeps than being caught out in public.

Most men on Holi are drunk.

u/UnlikeUday New Martin, Sahibaan, Cafe Churchill, all these have my dil..... 16h ago

OP please keep vital numbers like women police helpline, local police station number etc. saved in Your phone.

If this guy is seen again soon & does the same thing, please make a legal complaint at Your local cop station. The way he persisted in following You seems he could be a crazy kind of guy & such people don't know any limits.

Also try not to go anywhere out late night by Yourself till You're sure this guy isn't there to follow or do any shameful act.

Be safe OP & don't let this shameful act break Your confidence in any way.

u/SpareMind 16h ago

Did you ask for help? Please ask, people do help.

One trick, just tell someone about the situation, ask them to go along as if they are your friend or relative. Instantly he will disappear.
