Hyderabad, July 10: They just keep coming. If it was Ashraf from Kerala on Tuesday, it was Ajay Singh Yadav from Delhi on Thursday. The latest majnu dashed to tennis star Sania Mirza’s residence here at Banjara Hills around 11 a.m. this morning, barely 24 hours before her engagement to Mohammad Sohrab Mirza.
Armed with a passionate love letter, Yadav raced to realise his fantasy but was stopped in his tracks by guards who have been on extra vigil after Tuesday night drama.
‘‘I want to meet Sania..I wanna marry her,’’ he told the bemused guards using almost the same words his more notorious predecessor had used the other day. He was naturally refused entry but this chap was not one to give up. ‘‘At least call her parents,’’ he insisted.
Surprisingly, one of the guards did call Sania’s mother Naseema who gave Yadav a piece of her mind. ‘‘You look educated. What kind of a behaviour is this? Tomorrow is her engagement!’’ she rebuked him. But an undeterred Yadav told her of his pathetic love for Sania and even had the cheek to tell her to check with Sania if she would marry him! By then, Naseema had had enough and told the guards to inform the police, who arrived soon after and took him to the Banjara Hills police station.
A native of Uttar Pradesh and son of a teacher, Yadav is no mug.
He is a B.Tech second year student from the Dronacharya Engineering college, Delhi. ‘‘Though he did not create any nuisance near Sania’s house, he tried to enter the house.
We are registering cases under Section 509 IPC (uttering words or making gesture intended to insult the modesty of women),’’ West zone DCP C Ravi Varma told Express.
What surprised the police is Yadav’s claim that he had been in love with Sania ever since he saw her photograph in a newspaper, that too 10 years ago! He further said he had never missed an opportunity to catch a glimpse of her whenever she was in Delhi.
According to the police, Yadav came to the city two days ago and had been staying in his relative’s house in Nampally. ‘‘I came to Hyderabad to make a last minute effort before Sania gets engaged,’’ Yadav told reporters after his arrest.
