INDIAN-ORIGIN MAN JAILED FOR STALKING EX-GIRLFRIEND IN UK
An Indian-origin man from west London has been sentenced to 10 years' imprisonment for stalking and threatening his former girlfriend after she ended their relationship.Pradeep Thomas was jailed at Harrow Crown Court in north London yesterday after he had pleaded guilty to stalking, involving fear of violence.
The 37-year-old bombarded the 50-year-old victim with messages, which included warnings about killing her and throwing acid on her.
"Thomas refused to accept that his relationship with the victim was over and so he subjected her to weeks of harassment which culminated in him calling her dozens of times over a few hours and leaving her increasingly angry messages where he repeatedly threatened to kill her or cause her serious harm.
"This understandably resulted in the victim fearing for her life and feeling unsafe in her own home," said Detective Constable Heidi Adams, the investigating officer from the Metropolitan Police's Community Safety Unit in Harrow.
