Interesting story on patient with schizophrenia...............

http://www.indianexpress.com/news/what-makes-bunty-chor-steal--doctors-say-it-is-paranoid-schizophrenia/1104113/0 Three medical boards at IHBAS examined serial thief and came to same conclusion. He is known as the slippery one, the thief who strikes at will, and the one who often fakes mental illness to get away. His exploits even inspired the Hindi movie Oye Lucky, Lucky Oye. But not many know that Devinder Singh alias Bunty Chor was diagnosed — not once, but thrice — with paranoid schizophrenia at the government-run Institute of Human Behaviour and Allied Sciences (IHBAS) last year.

According to documents accessed by Newsline, the three teams came to the same conclusion: "The board is of the opinion that the patient is suffering from paranoid schizophrenia and requires continued treatment for the same." One of the common types of schizophrenia, patients of this subtype have traits of paranoia with delusions about themselves and people around them.

Bunty's claims of being a "perfectionist thief" and his obsession for stealing, "could be attributed to the diagnosis of schizophrenia".
