Mumbai Housewife Files Obscenity Case Against Actress Sunny Leone

The complaint said that Ms Leone, a former adult film star, had posted pictures that amounted to circulating pornographic material.

Mumbai: Bollywood actress Sunny Leone faces an obscenity case filed by a Mumbai housewife, who has alleged that she found obscene, pornographic material on her website while surfing the Internet.

The complaint said that Ms Leone, a former adult film star, had posted pictures that amounted to circulating pornographic material. "Such posts poison the minds of people and especially children," the Dombivali woman said in her complaint.

"This actor is coming here and displaying vulagarity. Bollywood films could earlier be watched with families. Today we cannot see them with our families. When I visited her website I found that it was not fit for viewing. That's why I lodged this complaint," the complainant told reporters.

Shockingly, the complainant also said watching the videos can lead to rape while demanding the shutting down of the website.

Police said charges have been filed against the "Ek Paheli Leela" star under the Information Technology Act, for circulating obscene content on the Internet. She has also been charged under the Indecent Representation of Women Act.

The case has been transferred to the Cyber Crime cell of the Thane police.

Sunny Leone has not officially responded on this issue but sources close to her say she has no idea about the case.

Senior Police Inspector V Shiwakar told NDTV, "Sunny Leone has posted obscene pictures on her website. We received a complaint yesterday and we have registered a case. Investigations are on."
