A senior police official said the victim, Saachi Marwah, wife of cricketer Nitish Rana, was allegedly harassed by the two accused, who stalked and chased her while she was on her way home from in Delhi’s Kirti Nagar on Friday night.

According to reports, the men followed her on a two-wheeler, then approached her car and started hitting the vehicle. However, Saachi Marwah captured the horrifying ordeal on her phone and then posted the photos of the two stalkers on her Instagram page.

Delhi Police in a statement said that a case was registered following a complaint by the victim and during investigation, security camera footage from the area was analysed which revealed the identity of the two accused.

In an Instagram post, Marwah had claimed that the Delhi Police were reluctant to file her complaint and had told her to “let it go” as she had reached home safely.

Saachi Marwah, who is an architectural designer by profession and married to star KKR cricketer Nitish Rana, wrote on her Instagram:  ‘Just a casual day in Delhi. On my way back home from work. These guys randomly started hitting my car! Just no reason, stalked and chased and the police told me on the phone when I complained, ‘so now that you’ve reached home safe, let it go! Next time, number note kar lena’ (note the number next time). Aye aye captain, next time I’ll take their phone numbers also!.”
