An FIR has been filed against Sunny Leone after a woman from Mumbai complained that the Indo-Canadian adult actress is “promoting obscenity and destroying Indian culture and society with her website.” The police say no action has been taken so far. They say the website cannot be blocked either.
The complainant, Anjali Palan, who reportedly works with the Hindu Janajagruti Samiti, alleged that upon learning that “Leone promotes obscenity in society through her porn videos,” she visited the website, sunnyleone.com, and indeed found pornographic content. The woman has sought action not only against Leone, but also against all those who uploaded her videos on the site. Thus, Leone and unnamed persons have been booked by the police.
Senior inspector Sunil Shivarkar said the police registered an FIR after getting the complaint. “We went through the website and found that the content was objectionable.” The charges also include the Indecent Representation of Women. The maximum punishment under the law is imprisonment up to five years or fine up to Rs 1000,000 or both.
“No immediate action will be taken in the case as first the police's cyber cell will look into who is handling the website and other legal matters,” said another senior police official.
