Recently,
model-actor
Milind
Soman
was
booked
for
obscenity
after
he
uploaded
his
naked
picture,
running
on
the
beach.
The
South
Goa
Superintendent
of
Police
Pankaj
Kumar
Singh
had
told
media
that
he
was
booked
under
section
294
(obscenity)
of
the
Indian
Penal
Code.
Now,
actress
Pooja
Bedi
reacted
to
the
news
and
said
that
there
was
nothing
obscene
about
Milind's
picture,
and
made
a
blatant
comparison
between
him
and
Naga
sadhus,
who
are
often
spotted
naked.
Pooja
tweeted,
"Absolutely
nothing
obscene
about
@milindrunning
aesthetic
pic.
The
obscenity
lies
in
the
minds
of
a
viewer
imagining
more!
His
crime
is
being
good
looking,famous
&
setting
bench
marks!
If
nudity
is
a
crime
all
naga
babas
should
be
arrested.
Smearing
ash
can't
make
it
acceptable!"
(sic)
A
netizen
called
out
Pooja's
tweet
and
wrote,
"Your
comparison
is
totally
wrong.
First
read
how
one
can
become
Naga
Baba
.
Otherwise
do
not
compare
this
cheap
publicity
stunt,"
to
which
she
replied,
"Nudity,
violence
or
smoking
weed
in
name
of
Religion
cannot
be
excused.
Law
of
the
land
must
b
equal
for
all!
Why
would
one
naked
man
with
penis
in
full
view
not
be
considered
obscene
&
penalised,
while
another
man
with
no
penis
showing
b
considered
obscene?
Same
with
Marijuana."

On
a
related
note,
a
few
days
ago,
model-actor
Poonam
Pandey
and
her
husband
were
arrested
by
the
Goa
police
for
allegedly
trespassing
on
government
property,
and
making
an
objectionable
video.
They
were
later
out
on
a
bail
bond
of
Rs
20,000
each.
Notably,
before
police
booked
Milind,
there
was
a
debate
on
social
media
as
to
why
Poonam
Pandey's
act
was
found
obscene
and
not
Milind
Soman's,
after
Pandey
was
arrested.
