Girls, Please Trust Your Instincts My Cousin Was Followed Across Multiple Autos Today in Chandigarh.
My cousin studies at an institute in Sector 34. After her classes ended, she was heading home and waiting for an auto-rickshaw. That’s when a man started following her. At first, she thought she might just be overthinking, but deep down her instincts kept telling her that something was wrong.
When she got into an auto, the same man entered it as well. The auto driver asked him where he wanted to go, and he replied that he would get down somewhere before Zirakpur. Even then, my cousin felt extremely uncomfortable. Trusting her instincts, she decided to change the auto midway and stopped near a chowk.
What happened next was terrifying.
The man also got down on the opposite side of the same chowk and continued watching her. When she boarded another auto, he entered that one too. This time, when the driver asked for his destination, he suddenly changed his answer and said he wanted to go to Sector 26 market.
At this point, she panicked and immediately texted me.
I instantly called my uncle, and we reached Sector 27 chowk to meet her. Shockingly, the man continued following her until she reached us on the other side of the road. My uncle immediately gathered nearby people, and everyone started questioning him.
First, when the gathered people questioned him, he claimed that he had come to Sector 27 to meet a friend from Model Town. After some time, he changed his statement and said that he actually lived in Sector 27. When people further asked for his address, he then claimed that he lived in Sector 34.
Sensing that something was seriously wrong, my uncle immediately called the police. When the police arrived and asked for his address so they could contact his parents, we eventually found out that he was actually staying at a relative’s residence in Mohali and had recently come there from his village.
I am posting this because situations like these are becoming frighteningly common, and many girls ignore their instincts out of fear of “overreacting.” Please don’t.
If something feels wrong, act immediately. Change your route, switch vehicles, call someone you trust, share your live location, gather public attention, and never hesitate to ask for help.
To every girl reading this:
Stay attentive. Stay strong. Stay aware.
There are people like this everywhere, and such stalkers can be dangerous. Trust your instincts they are often your first line of protection.
