The Goa Police filed a charge sheet against them for allegedly shooting an obscene video in the coastal state.
Poonam Pandey, who was recently seen in a captive reality show, is once again in news. The model, along with her estranged husband Sam Bombay has been booked by the Goa Police, reports PTI. A charge sheet has been filed against the two for allegedly shooting an obscene video in the coastal state in 2020. The charge sheet was filed last week ahead of the Judicial Magistrate First Class, Canacona, under various sections pertaining to obscenity, trespassing, and circulation of the obscene video, informed Canacona police official Pravin Gawas to PTI.
In November 2020, Poonam Pandey and Sam Bombay were booked for allegedly shooting an obscene video in Goa's Chapoli dam, and even circulating it on social media handles. They were arrested for their actions but later, released on bail. Police officer Gawas further told PTI that they have recorded statements by 39 witnesses, all of which shall be analysed by the court during the case's trial.
PTI states that Poonam Pandey and Sam Bombay have been charged under Indian Penal Code Sections 447 (criminal trespass), 292, 293 (obscenity), and 294 (reciting or uttering any obscene song or words in public place), and provisions of the Indecent Representation of Women (Prohibition) Act, 1986 and the Information Technology Act. Poonam Pandey's arrest came after a local opposition party filed a case against her for allegedly doing a "porn" photoshoot on Goa's property that belonged to the Water Resources Department.
