Mumbai: A shocking incident came to light from Uttar Pradesh's Bulandshahr, where a crazed lover killed his girlfriend by beheading her in a graveyard. A video of the man has surfaced in which he can be seen shamelessly bragging about the horrific act and claiming that he is a fan of Bollywood actor Sanjay Dutt. Sanjay Dutt has a bad boy image in the film industry due to characters he played in movies like Khalnayak, Vaastav, Hathyar, Plan, Kaante, and many others.
Many notorious criminals have admitted in the past that they are ardent fans of Sanjay Dutt and chose to enter the world of crime after being inspired by the actor. Sanjay Dutt has been in the news after his name was highlighted in the 1993 Mumbai blast case, and the actor also remained in jail over his infamous AK-47 rifle case. However, the actor was released after completing his five-year sentence in 2016.
