New Delhi: A man allegedly tried to kill the husband of a woman he used to stalk and when arrested he told police, he was inspired by Shah Rukh Khan's act in Bollywood movie 'Darr'.
After Vivek Kumar Aggarwal (37) got to know that police have launched a manhunt for him, he allegedly attempted to commit suicide by consuming sleeping pills and was admitted in a hospital. However, he was arrested yesterday, police said.
Vivek had first come in the contact of the woman in 2012 (she was still unmarried) when she used to work at a real estate firm in Kirti Nagar.
