An Indian-origin Australian man is denied bail after appearing in the ACT Magistrates Court over allegations of stalking a woman in Canberra. Multiple outlets report that the judge finds the risk to the woman’s safety is “too great,” keeping him in custody pending further court process.

The court hears that the man repeatedly contacted the woman even after she rejected his advances, according to reports. Outlets also describe allegations that he threatened to use government systems to obtain her personal information. The reporting reflects the court’s assessment of safety concerns and the alleged persistence of the conduct. The articles do not indicate a final outcome on the merits of the charges, and the case remains ongoing.
