According to the police, Mate and the girl had known each other since 2020. However, Mate’s attempts to befriend her intensified over time, leading to the unsolicited text messages.

As a result, the Sonegaon Police have registered a case against Mate under Sections 452 (house trespass), 509 (word, gesture, or act intended to insult the modesty of a woman), 506 (criminal intimidation), and 354 (3) (voyeurism) of the Indian Penal Code.
