Karnataka
High
court
has
stayed
a
warrant
issued
to
Mumbai
lass
and
model
Poonam
Pandey
by
a
lower
court.
It
has
ordered
Poonam
to
appear
before
the
court
on
or
before
February
12,
2014.
It
is
said
that
Poonam
was
missing
the
court
trial,
and
was
evading
from
Bangalore
cops
since
many
days.
It
is
related
to
the
case
that
is
pending
against
her
in
Bangalore
Court.
In
2012,
a
person,
who
is
based
out
of
Bangalore
had
filed
a
private
complaint
against
Poonam,
alleging
that
she
had
hurt
the
religious
sentiments
of
Hindus
by
posing
semi-nude
in
front
of
Lord
Vishnu.
The
actress
was
shooting
for
an
ad,
in
front
of
the
photograph
of
God
Vishnu.
However,
Poonam
Pandey
has
denied
that
she
is
not
escaping
from
the
police
and
it
is
not
necessary
for
her
to
do
so.
She
said,
"Why
will
I
run
from
the
cops?
I
am
not
a
terrorist.
I
am
not
in
hiding."
Talking
about
the
issue,
Poonam
said,
"The
petitioner
has
alleged
that
I
posed
nude,
and
that
too
in
front
of
a
deity.
I
am
a
Hindu
and
I
would
never
do
something
like
that.
I
agree
that
I
wear
bikinis,
but
I
have
my
limitations.
This
was
a
morphed
picture.
In
fact,
I
have
submitted
the
original
to
the
court."
