FIR registered against Sunny Leone

MUMBAI: An FIR has been filed against Sunny Leone after a woman from Dombivli complained that the adult film-turned-Bollywood actor is "promoting obscenity and destroying Indian culture and society with her website". The Thane police say no action in the case will be taken as of now and that the website cannot be blocked either.

Complainant Anjali Palan, who works with Hindu Janajagruti Samiti, alleged that upon learning "Leone promotes obscenity in society through her porn videos", she visited sunnyleone.com, and found pornographic content. Palan has sought action against Leone and all those who uploaded her videos. Leone and unnamed persons have been booked by the Thane police at Ramnagar police station in Dombivli.

The charges are the IPC's sections 292 (obscene and indecent advertisement and display), 292A, 294 (performing obscene act in public place), the IT Act's section 67 (publishing or transmitting obscene material in electronic form), and the Indecent Representation of Women Act's section 3.
