The Kochi City Police have booked former Malayalam Bigg Boss winner Jinto in connection with a theft reported at a bodybuilding centre.

According to the complaint, cash amounting to ₹10,000 along with important documents went missing from the facility. CCTV visuals, submitted to the police, allegedly show Jinto entering the gym using a duplicate key.

The bodybuilding centre is currently operating on a lease under his name. Following the complaint, the Palarivattom police have launched a probe into the incident.

According to a Times of India report, earlier too, the complainant, a woman, had accused him of sexual harassment, a case that led to his temporary arrest. He was later released on bail.

In addition to the theft and harassment allegations, Jinto was recently questioned in connection with a hybrid cannabis case. While no formal charges were filed, his association with the case has further damaged his public image.
