Reality show winner in Kerala booked in theft case

Bodybuilder-cum-fitness trainer and winner of a popular reality show, Jinto, has been booked in a theft case lodged by a woman gym owner in Kerala, the police said on Tuesday (August 19, 2025).

According to the police, the complainant alleged that Jinto trespassed on the gym, which she had taken on lease from him, and stole money and some documents.

The complainant also reportedly submitted CCTV visuals which allegedly showed the accused entering the gym in the wee hours of Monday, vandalising cameras and other articles and stealing the documents and money.

The Palarivattom police registered a case against the accused under BNS Section 305 (theft). Further actions are yet to be taken, they said.

Jinto was reportedly interrogated by investigators in connection with a hybrid ganja case earlier.
