Mumbai: Man held for using Sunny Leone hubby’s car number on his Mercedes

Actor Sunny Leone with her husband Daniel Weber

The Versova police have arrested a 38-year-old man for allegedly using the registration number of a vehicle belonging to actor Sunny Leone's husband on his Mercedes car. Accused Piyush Sen was remanded in police custody for a day on Wednesday. Sen apparently felt the number would prove lucky for him, said a police officer. In September 2020, Leone's husband Daniel Weber had received a few e-challans for road safety violations that were actually committed by Sen, who lives at Khadagpada in Kalyan.

Sen's luck ran out on Tuesday when Weber's driver Akbar Khan spotted his car on Achyutrao Patwardhan Marg in Andheri. He reported the misuse of Weber's Mercedes car number to DN Nagar traffic constable Akush Nirbhavane, who asked Sen to show his vehicle's papers. While Sen had the original papers of his Merc, it had different registration and chassis numbers.

"Akbar Khan also informed Weber who came to the police station with the papers of his Mercedes GL Formatic car that has MH05CT- as the first part of the registration number," said a police officer. Joint Commissioner of Traffic Yashasvi Yadav said, "The traffic police have registered a case under section 420, 465, 468 of the IPC and the Motor Vehicle Act 139 at the Versova police station."
