The Delhi Police on May 12 arrested a man who was allegedly tried to kill the husband of a woman who he used to stalk from a long time. After he was arrested, he allegedly told the cops that he wanted to kill the woman’s husband as he had got inspired by Shah Rukh Khan’s movie – “Darr”.
According to a News18 report, the man has been identified as Vivek Kumar Aggarwal (37). He attempted to commit suicide by consuming sleeping pills after he got to know that police had launched a manhunt for him. He was later admitted to a hospital.
Vivek, who was working as a real estate agent in Kirti Nagar, had first come in contact with the woman in 2012 (she was then unmarried). He later fell in love with her and wanted to marry her, police said, adding that he initially started following her without her knowledge.
He managed to get her number from the firm she worked for and started messaging and calling her. Initially, she didn’t pay attention but once he sent her something suggestive, she blocked him, said the police.
In December, the woman got married and then Vivek decided to kill her husband, police said.
Vivek then tried to kill her husband in February by allegedly shooting him, but the latter escaped unhurt.
On April 20, the accused again attacked the woman’s husband while he was near his house in Vijay Vihar, police said. A case was filed then and a team led by Abhinendra, SHO of Vijay Vihar police station, began investigating the case.
In order to confuse the cops, the 37-year-old even posted a letter to the woman’s house claiming to be the sister of a woman, who had committed suicide after the husband had “impregnated” her. He changed residence and even consumed sleeping pills in an alleged suicide attempt, but the police managed to catch him on time.
He was arrested after being discharged from a hospital following his alleged suicide attempt. Cops claim that Vivek is a fan of Shah Rukh Khan and has seen Darr several times.
