In August 2017, Varnika Kundu, the 29-year-old daughter of a top bureaucrat in the Haryana government, alleged that she was followed by Vikas Barala and his friend while she was returning from from work late in the night.

New Delhi: The Punjab and Haryana High Court on Thursday granted bail to Haryana BJP chief Subhash Barala's son Vikas Barala in the case of stalking and abduction of Varnika Kundu.

In August 2017, the 29-year-old daughter of a top bureaucrat in the Haryana government alleged that she was followed by Vikas Barala and his friend while she was returning from work late in the night.

Barala's SUV pulled up close to her car several times in a bid to block her way.

While the woman's complaint and a Facebook post narrating the incident caused a massive stir, the Haryana BJP unit blamed the victim for driving "so late in the night".

Soon after the police said that the recovered footage shows Barala chasing the woman, Haryana BJP chief Subhash Barala said the police was under no pressure and claimed that the victim was "like his daughter".
