An Indian-origin Canadian man in Australia has been fined 2,000 dollars and ordered to be deported for stalking his employer’s daughter despite repeated police warnings, <g data-gr-id="13">media</g> report said on Monday.
Abhinav Singh, an engineer, pleaded guilty to stalking his boss’ daughter between July 14 and August 28 in Gladstone and elsewhere in Queensland. The Indian-born professional, who has a Canadian passport, will be deported, leaving behind his wife and two children.
Police Prosecutor Nina Sulzer told Gladstone Magistrates Court that the woman was Singh’s colleague who never expressed any romantic interest in him, instead telling police Singh was in “fantasyland”, gladstoneobserver.com.au reported.
Sulzer told the court that Singh professed his love saying, “I have now officially declared a war to get... at any cost. In this <g data-gr-id="14">war</g> I will fight brave battles with whoever comes in my way.”
The engineer swamped her with hundreds of texts, phone calls and voice messages, ignoring warnings from police and her father who told Singh he was frightening his daughter.
