A Glasgow restaurant owner made life a misery for two women after they complained about noise from his premises.
Bharat Singh bawled abuse, took pictures and repeatedly paced up and down outside their homes.
The 59-year-old's worrying behaviour landed him in the dock at Glasgow Sheriff Court where he was convicted of the 11-month long stalking campaign, the Sunday Mail reports.
One victim says coping with his actions has had a "major impact" on her life, and pointed out:"I want people to know about this man and what he is capable of. He terrorised me."
Singh, know to many customers as 'Tony' opened the Moti Hahal restaurant in Cathcart six years ago.
Both women have homes nearby and one claimed she was harassed while at his restaurant as a customer.
The court was told he left them in "fear and alarm" over an 11-month period.
He was banned from contacting or approaching either victim for two years under a non-harassment order and was fined £800 by a sheriff.
Singh's victim, a 40-year-old businesswoman, said: "His speech was aggressive and intimidating. I think people who know him will be shocked at what he is really like."
After a trial, Singh was convicted under Section 39 (1) of the Criminal Justice and Licensing (Scotland) Act 2010 which outlines the offence of stalking.
The campaign of terror began after the woman complained about late night noise and disturbances.
She added: "He had no regard for anyone. I didn't look forward to getting home in case I bumped into him and I only relaxed once I was in my flat. There was something sinister about him. I felt vulnerable and scared."
The businesswoman claims the Moti Mahal has been a regular problem for the local community since Singh opened it. She added: "Over time we've had several disagreements about disregard for the local community, noise pollution and abusive behaviour.
"I've endured nights where I would wake up to shouting and screaming, taxi engines running and people coming in and out of the restaurant like a revolving door.
"Unfortunately, my bedroom looks on to the main road and I hear everything."
The woman said he called her a "cow" and shouted: "Get a life."
Last week, speaking from his home in Mount Florida, Singh said he was considering an appeal against the verdict and claimed the £800 fine was excessive.
Singh, who can't be pictured for legal reasons, added: "I felt that I was very unfairly dealt with by the court. I was not listened to at all."
