The Chandigarh police have summoned Vikas Barala, son of the Haryana State BJP president Subhash Barala, and his friend Ashish, for questioning for their alleged act of stalking and harassing a young woman on a road in the city last week.
The police have pasted the summons notice outside Vikas Barala's house, directing the two to appear at the Sector-26 police station on Wednesday. This was done after the non-acceptance of the summons, sources said.
Vikas and Ashish were arrested on the charge of stalking the woman but they were released soon on Friday night.
The police have been facing flak for not invoking Sections 365 (kidnapping) and 511 (attempt to commit offences punishable with imprisonment) of the IPC against them.
