Actor Poonam Pandey and her husband Sam Bombay have been granted bail after they were arrested on Thursday (5 November) for allegedly trespassing on government property and shooting an ‘obscene’ video at a dam in the Canacona town of South Goa, reported Hindustan Times.
The report states that Poonam and Sam are out on a bail bond of Rs 20,000 each. They were given bail on Thursday night. As per the conditions of the bail, they cannot leave Goa without the court allowing it and have to report to the police station for six days.
Cuncolim police inspector Therron D’Costa, who is holding additional charge of the Canacona police station, told The Times of India that Poonam and Sam will be kept at the police station until they post the bail amount.
Poonam Pandey was arrested by the Goa Police for allegedly trespassing into a government property and shooting an obscene video in the coastal state, an official was quoted by PTI as saying.
On Wednesday, 4 November, the women's wing of Goa Forward Party filed a complaint against Pandey for allegedly shooting an obscene video at Chapoli Dham, ANI reported.
Another First Information Report (FIR) was also filed against an unknown person at Canacona Police Station in Goa.
A tweet by ANI read, "FIR filed against an unknown person at Canacona PS for shooting of vulgar video featuring actress Poonam Pandey. Offence registered under IPC. Also, women's wing of Goa Forward Party filed a complaint against Pandey for shooting obscene video at Chapoli Dam".
A number of Twitter users had called out the double standards when it came to praising Milind Soman for his fit body after the actor shared his nude photo on one hand and registering a complaint against Poonam Pandey for the same thing on the other.
