The accused identified as Manvinder Singh, a struggling actor, is a big fan of Kaif and wanted to marry her.

While multiple reports suggested that VicKat received death threats from Singh, a source close to Kaif says otherwise. The insider adds, “The stories flying around were exaggerated. It’s not as serious as the way it’s being reported. This is a stalker who shows up from time to time unannounced and has been harassing her for a long time. The authorities have been notified of the same and a complaint has been filed.”

When we reached out to Manjunath Singhe deputy commissioner of police (zone 9), he confirmed the arrest and said, “We have taken him into custody and the investigation is going on.”

Earlier Singhe, , had said, “We have registered a case under Sections 506 (2) (criminal intimidation) and 354 (d) (stalking) of the Indian Penal Code (IPC) and Section 67 (transmitting obscene material) of the Information Technology Act, 2000.”
