The criminal-turned-detective - who even figured in a reality show - allegedly barged into the house of his brother, Balwinder Singh, in Vikaspuri on Saturday evening. He was apprehended from the house and a button-actuated knife was recovered from him. Bunty has been booked under sections 25, 54 and 59 of Arms Act. He was produced in Tis Hazari Court and sent to Tihar Jail for 14-day judicial custody.
Deputy commissioner of police (west) V Renganathan said, "No bail application has been received yet and Bunty is currently lodged in Tihar Jail. His brother, Balwinder, had called police following which we arrested him." Sources said that an arrest under these sections usually invites three years' imprisonment.
Bunty had allegedly barged into Balwinder's house demanding money. "He had been repeatedly calling us ever since he was kicked out of Bigg Boss in October last year, claiming he wanted to start a new business. He told us that after being kicked out of the reality show he went to Nepalwhere he, along with his partner, wanted to start a business. He demanded Rs 1 crore for his business, saying he would leave us alone if we acceded to his request. He would keep calling us from different numbers and insist we give in to his demands. We even tried explaining that we don't have that kind of money," Balwinder told TOI.
Bunty's family members claimed that about a fortnight back, he again started calling them for money. "We had already barred three of his numbers but he started calling from other numbers and threatened us with dire consequences. On Saturday, he came to our house when my wife was alone. He came with three bags and refused to budge. My wife panicked and called me and my father. I tried to reason out with him, but when we were left with no option I called police," alleged Balwinder, who is an electronic engineer.
Bunty has been making waves since he came out from Tihar in June last year. At first, he had said he wanted to become a spiritual leader. Claiming that he was penning his first book, Bunty believed that he would become a good detective using his powers of "divya gyan". He claimed he had already approached Iskcon temple priests for the same and even trained for three months at a detective agency in July.
The superchor in October had jumped at the opportunity to participate in a reality show. Though the well-known smooth-talker was nominated as the 'Captain' in the show, he was kicked out following allegations of using foul and abusive language and being disrespectful to the 'rules' of the show.
