In what seems to be a scene from a Bollywood thriller movie, a middle-aged man in Punjab faked his own death in a bid to acquire Rs 50 lakh from an insurance company. In order to claim the insurance money, the man allegedly killed his domestic help so as to fake it as his own dead body, said the police.

According to India Today, the middle-aged man, Aakash, wanted his daughter to study overseas but had no financial assistance to make his dream a reality. So he came up with a plan to fake his own death and get the insurance money to fulfil his dream.
