In connection with several cheque bounce cases, a controversial Bigg Boss (Marathi) contestant named Abhijit Bichukale has been arrested from the sets of the show in Mumbai.

Abhijit Bichukale, a politician, has been arrested by the Aarey police in the middle of the show.  The court had issued a non-bailable warrant against him. “A non-bailable warrant was issued by the Satara court against Abhishek Bichukale. He is one of the contestants in Marathi Bigg Boss. Because the set of this show is in Filmcity, when the Satara Crime branch staff came to Mumbai, they asked us to help them in this case. It is an NBW. It is a court order and he is being taken back to Satara and further action against him will be taken there,” a senior police officer investigating the case said.

The participants of the show were reportedly shocked and taken aback by the incident.
