Bhopal: A man resembling the notorious Davinder Singh alias 'Bunty chor' has been arrested in Bhopal, police said on Sunday.
He was taken into custody for interrogation on Saturday following a tip-off that a man resembling the infamous thief was roaming in the old city area, Bhopal Senior Superintendent of Police (SSP), Yogesh Choudhry told PTI.
"Though he looks like Bunty, he is claiming that his name is Napolean Jesus. Initially, he told police that he came here from Hong Kong and later said that he belongs to Nepal," he said.
Police have taken his finger prints and sent them to Delhi police for matching with Bunty's records, Choudhry said. Bunty has been reportedly involved in over 500 thefts and has managed to give the police a slip on a number of occasions, Choudhry said.
He had also participated in the reality show 'Bigg Boss' but was soon asked to leave due to his behaviour.
Bollywood actor Abhay Deol's character in the film 'Oye Lucky, Lucky Oye' was said to be based on him.
