Indian jailed for 19 years for stalking

Jitender Singh fell in love with his college mate way back in 2006. But, when he proposed to her, she merely refused. Jitender should have let her live her own life thereafter. But he instead decided not to let her be in peace. He assaulted her father and got convicted for the crime. When Jitender was released from the Jail, he came to know that she has left to New York for higher studies. He went to New York and tried to get admitted in the same university where she was enrolled. But the university was quick to deny him.

When the victim moved on to California, Jitender tracked her down to her address. After completing her studies, when she was hired by a company in Plano, Singh traveled to Plano and broke into her home. Jitender might have felt that not much punishment could be awarded for such stalking. But he probably have forgotten that US courts deal severely with such offences. This week, a US court has awarded him with 19 years of imprisonment for the nightmare he has caused to the victim.
