Police in Kolkata have arrested Bengali actor Rupa Dutta for allegedly stealing purses from the Kolkata Book Fair. According to reports, police have recovered unexplained cash from her bag.

An officer from the Bidhannagar Police saw Dutta dumping a purse into a dustbin. She was immediately detained and taken away for questioning.

During the investigation, police found several purses from her possession and Rs. 75,000 in her bag.

“The woman has been arrested in connection with ‘kepmari’ (attention-diverting theft) and further investigation is underway to find out whether more people are connected with the crime,” news agency PTI quoted a cop as saying.

Dutta had earlier courted controversy by falsely accusing Anurag Kashyap of sexual harassment after she shared a screenshot of her conversation with a person, who shared the first name with the filmmaker.



Dutta is a small-time Bengali actor, who has acted in a few TV soaps. In her last tweet, she had expressed her joy at the humiliating defeat of the Congress in the just-concluded assembly polls. She had written, “Founded by Britisher ! Putdown by Italian pappu ! Were going to write ‘Om Shanti’, but a Christian Party deserves a Christian farewell.”
