Indian-origin woman Shalini Thakur, 38, was shot dead outside a restaurant in Sacramento, California, on Tuesday after months of alleged stalking and harassment by 22-year-old Rohit Rohit. Authorities said Thakur tried to flee when Rohit confronted her, but he chased and shot her multiple times. She had obtained a restraining order against him after reporting escalating harassment, including alleged tracking and unwanted contact. Rohit fled the scene and was later tracked to Highway 50, where he died from an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound during a standoff with deputies. The case has raised fresh questions about protections for stalking victims.
