Earlier this month, 29-year-old Chandigarh resident Varnika Kundu's Facebook post went viral that narrated her harrowing experience of being stalked while returning home late night, chased and stalked by the son of the Haryana BJP President. After initial reports that CCTV footage was not available and bailable charges against the main accused, Vikas Barala, sustained media focus led to the arrest of Mr Barala and tougher changes against him. Subhash Barala, the state BJP chief, had assured the investigation was not being tampered with and Ms Kundu was "like my daughter". Explaining her ordeal on the NDTV Dialogues, Varnika Kundu said the change she would like to see is, "the status of women in the country where women in India are treated like second class citizens".
