Mumbai: The Mumbai Police arrested a man named Manvinder Singh after Vicky Kaushal filed a complaint with the Santacruz Police in Mumbai alleging that he and his wife Katrina Kaif had received death threats on social media.
The accused is said to be a struggling actor who is a huge Katrina fan. He allegedly wanted to marry the actress and used to post edited videos and photos of himself with her on Instagram.
Manvinder was arrested on Tuesday and taken into police custody until July 28 at a Bandra court in Mumbai.
Manvinder was accused of stalking and harassing Katrina on social media for several months. Manwinder's lawyer, Sandeep Sherkhane, however, denied the allegations against his client and called them "baseless."
"My client is an aspiring actor." He is falsely accused and used as a scapegoat. The messages sent by Katrina and her sister have been removed from Instagram. A one-sided story is presented.
After receiving the letter, Swara approached Versova police station and lodged a complaint against unidentified persons.
Reportedly, Bollywood superstar Salman Khan and his father Salim Khan also received a death threat letter a month ago. The reports suggested that the letter was found by Salim`s security staff and the police. The police also revealed how the letter was found on a bench where Salim generally takes a break during his morning walks. The letter said that the father-son duo would meet the same fate as the slain Punjabi singer Sidhu Moose Wala, who was shot dead on May 29.
Last week, Salman paid a visit to the Mumbai Police headquarters where he met Commissioner Vivek Phansalkar at his south Mumbai office. He submitted a written application to the Mumbai Police to seek a weapon licence for his protection amid alleged death threats.
