A burglary in Madhya Pradesh’s Indore took an unexpected turn when a thief was arrested after he decided to stay back and draw on the walls of the house he had broken into, police authorities confirmed on Wednesday.

The arrested thief is apparently a fan of superstar Amitabh Bachchan, as his wall art included the name ‘Agneepath’ – a film which featured ‘Big B’ – as well as some dialogues from the actor’s iconic films.

The thief’s accomplice managed to escape away with the loot, police officials said.

The two thieves, Vijay Yadav and Sonu Yadav entered the residence of corporator Anwar Kadri in the Juna Risala locality of Indore on Sunday night. As the family members were asleep, the burglars managed to steal an undisclosed amount of cash as well as various pieces of gold and silver jewellery.

However, while his accomplice Sonu chose to leave the house after the burglary, Vijay was apparently fascinated with the aesthetics of the house’s walls. He found some sketch pens and started drawing and scribbling on the walls, as per Additional Commissioner of Police Rajiv Bhadoriya.

While engrossed in his wall art, Vijay inadvertently struck a glass sheet within the room, causing a crashing sound that woke up the Kadri family from their sleep, ACP Bhadoriya said.

The police soon arrived at the scene and took Vijay into custody. Explaining the events, Sadar Bazar Police Station’s head constable Om Prakash said, “He seemed to be a fan of Amitabh Bachchan as he had written a couple of dialogues from Bachchan films on the wall.”

During the subsequent investigation, Vijay confessed to his involvement in the burglary and stealing jewellery and cash, ACP Bhadoriya said.
