A shocking confession by Lock Upp contestant Yogesh Rawat has sparked a wave of reactions online after he admitted on the reality show that he had shoplifted from malls “for the kick.” His revelation left fellow contestants stunned and quickly became one of the most talked-about moments from the latest episode, with social media users fiercely debating his admission.
The secret was revealed during a segment in which contestants were asked to disclose hidden truths about their lives. As the clue “Malls” appeared on the screen, curiosity filled the room. Explaining the secret, Yogesh admitted that although he now earns well and can afford to buy what he wants, he would sometimes steal items from malls simply for the thrill. When fellow contestant Ram Kapoor asked him if he meant stealing, Yogesh replied, “Haan, shoplifting.”
The confession left the house in disbelief, including jailer Farah Khan, who questioned him about the extent of the alleged thefts. Responding to her question, Yogesh claimed that the total value of the items he had shoplifted over time was around ₹50,000 to ₹60,000.
The conversation took another turn when contestant Akanksha Choudhary laughed during the revelation. Farah Khan asked why she found it amusing, to which Akanksha said she had already heard stories about the incidents through mutual acquaintances. She clarified that she was never present during any such act and had only heard about them. Yogesh also confirmed that Akanksha had no involvement in the alleged incidents.
The episode quickly ignited a social media frenzy, with many viewers criticising Yogesh over his confession. Several users referred to him as a “chor” alongside the “cheater” tag he had previously received on the show. Others questioned why he appeared to narrate the incident casually, while some expressed disappointment over what they described as a poor attempt to justify his actions.
Despite the criticism, the confession has become one of the season’s biggest talking points, adding fresh drama to Netflix’s Lock Upp. The reality show continues to generate buzz with contestants making personal revelations that often trigger intense discussions both inside the house and across social media platforms.
