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.
