Thiruvananthapuram: A court in Kerala's Thiruvananthapuram has sentenced criminal Devinder Singh, popularly known as 'Bunty Chor', to 10 years in prison for burgling a city-based businessman's residence in 2013. The criminal, who was convicted of the crime in April, was arrested by the Kerala police from a hotel in Pune on January 27, 2013.
Chief Judicial Magistrate P Krishnakumar imposed a fine of Rs 20,000 on Bunty and described him as a "habitual offender".
According to the prosecution, Bunty broke into the businessman's residence by disabling and deactivating high-tech security and surveillance systems. He stole a laptop, other gadgets including two mobile phones as well as a luxury car worth nearly Rs 28 lakh.
"This is my fifth avatar. My first one was in US, then the UK, then France, Hungary and now, India," he had claimed.
He became a household name after the release of a Bollywood movie "Oye Lucky Lucky Oye" in 2008, which is supposedly based on his life. A Malayalam film based on him has also been made. He also took part in season four of the popular reality show 'Bigg Boss'.
