Rakhi Sawant Fan Website

A local court on Monday admitted a criminal complaint against Bollywood ‘item girl’ Rakhi Sawant, recently involved in a kissing row with pop singer Mika, charging her with obscene performance at a show here on October 28.

Chief Judicial Magistrate (Patna) Sushma Sinha admitted the complaint filed by advocate Sruti Singh and transferred the case to the court of Shahaab Kausher, a magistrate, for further hearing to be taken up on November 10.

In her complaint, Singh alleged Rakhi’s performance here on October 28 violated the Indecent Representation of Women (Prevention) Act of 1985 and the Domestic Violence Law for women that came into effect from October 27.

She charged the obscene performance before a gathering of 3,000 or more was prohibited under these laws.

She 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.

Bihar 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, have also been named in the case for allowing Sawant’s ‘obscene presentation’.
