Patna: Bollywood "item girl" Rakhi Sawant, recently involved in a row with pop singer Mika, has landed in trouble with a criminal complaint about an "obscene" performance by her being filed in a court in Patna.
Advocate Sruti Singh filed the complaint in Chief Judicial Magistrate Sushma Sinha's court on November one but it is yet to be taken cognisance of.
In her complaint, Singh alleged Rakhi Sawant with making an "obscene" presentation while performing on stage in the city on October 28. She alleged the performance violated the Indecent Representation of Women (Prevention) Act of 1985 and the Domestic Violence Law for women that came into effect from October 27.
Singh alleged that the "obscene" performance before a gathering of 3,000 or more was prohibited under these laws.
She also filed the complaint under Sections 160 (punishment for committing affray), 253 (a) (promoting enmity between different groups on grounds of religion, race, place
of birth, residence and language, and doing acts prejudicial to maintenance of harmony), 290 (punishment for public nuisance in cases not otherwise provided) and 292 (sale of
obscene books) of the Indian Penal Code.
Singh said she had named state Home Secretary Afzal Amanullah, Senior Superintendent of Police (Patna) Kundan Krishnan, District Magistrate B Rajendra and the officer-in-charge of Gandhi Maidan Police Station in the case for allowing Sawant's "obscene presentation".
Sawant had been in the news recently when she had accused Mika of forcibly kissing her at his birthday party.
