Mallika held in Obscenity Act

Bollywood siren Mallika Sherawat gave a performance on New Year’s Eve at hotel J W Marriot, Mumbai. First she made news for charging a bomb for the less than hour-long performance. Then rumours of her molesting a co-dancer took the rounds. And now, she has been charged with an obscenity case against her.

Onlookers raised eyebrows when the actress performed in a body-hugging skin suit and a silver bikini to top it. Social activist Vinod Jain has written to the Mumbai police, urging them to take immediate action against Sherawat for wearing suggestive clothes. He saw Sherawat's performance on certain television channels on New Year’s Eve and found it very offensive to the Indian culture. He said that the manner in which Mallika was dancing was very distasteful, and it portrays the Indian woman indecently.

Jain approached the Santa Cruz police station to look into the matter since the hotel lies within its jurisdiction. However, additional Commissioner of Police Bipin Bihari said that there has been no formal complaint filed as yet.

The verdict will be out in the next few days. It seems like Mallika has already started making headlines at the beginning of this New Year!
