St Andrews restaurant owner pleads guilty to stalking charge

St Andrews restaurant owner pleads guilty to stalking charge

A stalker restaurateur from Dundee created a Facebook account under the name of a Bengali romantic tragedy novel, filled it with pictures of his victim then used it to send her a string of “inappropriate” messages.

Mohammed Mohiuddin met his victim after her husband began working at Mohiuddin’s restaurant in St Andrews.

They met at a Bangladeshi community event when married Mohiuddin became obsessed with her.

Dundee Sheriff Court heard Mohiuddin was repeatedly seen watching her outside her work and her home.

Mohiuddin who runs the Maisha Indian restaurant in St Andrews broke down in tears as the details of his crimes were read to the court.

In May last year, Mohiuddin’s victim received a series of messages on Facebook from a user called “Deb Das”, which had Mohiuddin’s picture attached.

The court heard Deb Das is the name of a Bengali romance novel that charts the story of two childhood sweethearts forced apart and the “tragedy that ensues”.

Depute fiscal Mohamad Sadiq told the court: “During the months preceding this the lady noticed that when she went to close the blinds at her home the accused’s Mercedes would be parked outside and he would appear to be looking at her through the windows.

“She stopped going to Bangladeshi community events and felt very uncomfortable.”

Mohiuddin, 48, of Blake Avenue, Dundee, pleaded guilty to a charge of stalking committed between February 1 2012 and June 30 2014.

Sheriff Alistair Brown deferred sentence until next month for social work reports.
