Use of Tsukerarete in this sentence


Please can somebody tell me how tsukerarete is being used in this sentence?

最近は誰かに **つけられてる** 様な気もしてきた




つける can mean a detective or a maniac/stalker is following someone on the
street. つけられる is its passive form. So,

> 最近は誰かにつけられてる様な気もしてきた

can translate to

> I'm even suspecting someone might be following me on the street

FYI, in a racing (marathon, horse race, F1 race or even election race) つける can
mean someone is right behind someone else.

> [総合3番手にタナクがつけている。](http://as-web.jp/news/info.php?c_id=3&no=68950)

(Tänak is the third place finisher (at the moment.))
