Ex-Bigg
Boss
contestant
and
self-proclaimed
Godman,
Om
Swami
was
arrested
yesterday
(August
9)
from
Bhajanpura
by
Delhi
Crime
Branch.
He
was
apparently
arrested
in
connection
with
a
2008
case.
It
has
to
be
recalled
that
when
Om
Swami
was
in
the
Bigg
Boss
house,
a
theft
case
lodged
by
his
brother
Pramodh
Jha,
against
Om
Swami,
saying
despite
repeated
calls
he
failed
to
turn
up
in
the
court.
The
court
had
also
directed
Om
Swami
to
appear
before
the
court
on
December
3,
2016.
His
brother
had
accused
the
former
Bigg
Boss
contestant
of
stealing
11
bicycles
along
with
various
important
documents
from
his
bicycle
shop
in
Delhi's
Lodhi
nine
years
ago.
Vinodh
Jha,
also
known
as
Om
Swami,
was
asked
to
leave
the
house,
but
was
brought
back
to
the
show
after
the
matter
was
solved.
Om
Swami,
whose
real
name
is
Vinodh
Jha,
was
declared
a
proclaimed
offender
by
the
Saket
court
in
the
case,
last
year.
A
non-bailable
warrant
was
also
issued
against
him.
Apparently,
Om
Swami
was
hiding
in
a
house
in
Northeast
Delhi's
Bhajanpura.
He
was
arrested
by
a
joint
team
of
Inter-State
Cell
of
Crime
Branch
and
Lodhi
Colony
police
station.
In
February,
Om
Swami
and
his
assistant
were
booked
for
molesting
a
woman
in
public.
It
has
to
be
recalled
that
Om
Swami
was
thrown
out
of
the
Bigg
Boss
house
as
he
crossed
all
the
limits
by
throwing
his
piss
on
the
fellow
contestant
Bani.
Post
his
exit,
he
had
also
given
nonsensical
statements
against
the
host
of
Bigg
Boss
makers
and
Salman
Khan.
He
had
even
threatened
the
makers
that
he
will
sabotage
the
grand
finale.
