The District and Session Court found 'Bunty' guilty of various penal offences including those under sections 437, 461 and 380 of the Indian Penal Code for burgling the NRI's fort- like house and decamping with some costly gadgets in car parked there.
After convicting Bunty, the court fixed May 22 for sentencing him after the prosecution sought enhanced jail term for the notorious criminal.
The prosecution counsel argued for enhanced sentence, saying there were hundreds of cases pending against him in several courts.
After lifting a laptop and some other costly gadgets, he had decamped in a luxury car parked in the house.
Bunty enjoyed the status of a 'skilled conman' and even had brief stint in a a television reality show some time back.
He was arrested by Kerala police from Pune after he gave them the slip.
