Dressed in white, the ‘baba’ can be seen dancing to Bollywood songs while police officials look on, some even recording the performance.

The man, Anwarullah Khan, was arrested based on a complaint by Syed Iftekar Hussain, who accused him of taking Rs 35 lakhs to perform a ceremony with a promise of turning bad fortune around. Khan then handed over gold-polished biscuits and diamonds to Hussain, claiming they were original.

Khan, who also says he is a Unani doctor, allegedly has a number of fraud cases registered against him across several police stations.
