Days after Poonam Pandey faked her own death, it has now been reported that a Rs 100 crore defamation case has been filed against the actress and her former husband Sam Bombay. As reported by Pinkvilla, the case has been filed by Faizan Ansari. He accused Poonam Pandey of “trivializing the seriousness of cancer and manipulating the emotions and trust of millions” by faking her own death. He has reportedly also urged the authorities to arrest Pandey and her former husband.
Ansari has also filed an FIR with the Kanpur Police Commissioner. “Poonam Pandey and her husband Sam Bombay conspired to stage her death, making a mockery of a serious illness like cancer. Poonam Pandey orchestrated this stunt for her personal publicity, betraying the trust of millions of Indians and the entire Bollywood industry,” the FIR read.
For the unversed, Poonam Pandey’s ‘death’ news was announced in a post shared on her official Instagram handle on February 2. “This morning is a tough one for us. Deeply saddened to inform you that we have lost our beloved Poonam to cervical cancer. Every living form that ever came in contact with her was met with pure love and kindness. In this time of grief, we would request for privacy while we remember her fondly for all that we shared,” the post read.
