Meanwhile, another report on India Today notes that an arrest has already taken place and the accused is believed to be a struggling actor who wished to marry Katrina. His name is Manvinder Singh.
According to India Today, Manvinder ran an Instagram page where he posted morphed pictures of himself with Katrina. These posts were accompanied by inappropriate captions like “Today is our marriage…my wife”.
He allegedly gave death threats to the couple, which ultimately led to them seeking proper action by involving the police. Manvinder apparently was doing this for months.
