The court made the observation while sentencing a 22-year-old man to one year in jail for accosting a 16-year-old girl in 2015. But the court acquitted him on stalking charges as there was no evidence that he was following her to foster a relationship. "The prosecution had alleged that October 6, 2015, when the teenager and her friend were returning home from college, Khadse first abused her and then suddenly caught her hand and said, "I love you". The scared teenager did not go college or tuitions for the next two days. It further held that the teenager's fear of going to college or tuitions might have prompted her mother to approach the police.
