The Aporia · Indian-origin man in Australia denied bail for 'stalking' woman he met on dating app; judge says risk to her safety 'too great'

Suyash Sinha, a 31-year-old man from India living in Australia, was denied bail by an ACT Magistrates Court after prosecutors alleged he stalked and harassed a woman he met on a dating app following her rejection of his advances. The court heard that Sinha used government systems to obtain personal information about the woman's family, causing her significant distress and symptoms of PTSD. Judge Lucinda Wilson cited concerns for the woman’s safety as the primary reason for denying bail, despite arguments from Sinha’s lawyer regarding his financial responsibilities.

Story summary

Suyash Sinha, a 31-year-old Indian-origin public servant in Canberra, Australia, was denied bail on October 14 after being accused of stalking and threatening a woman he met through a dating app. The woman reported feeling terrified and suffering from PTSD due to his persistent harassment despite her rejection. Police conducted a raid at Sinha's property following the victim's report in September, during which she had been advised by police to deactivate her social media accounts out of concern for her safety. At his hearing before ACT Magistrates Court, Special Magistrate Lucinda Wilson cited the risk Sinha posed to the woman’s health and wellbeing as too great, refusing bail despite arguments that he would comply with conditions due to family support obligations both in Australia and abroad. The case is set to return to court in November.
