Social media influencer and actor Poonam Pandey continues to make headlines. Now, Pandey and her husband Sam Bombay are in legal trouble. As per the reports in Times of India, a defamation lawsuit to the tune of ₹100 crore has been filed against the couple for faking the death stunt that Poonam did earlier this month. 

Here's what the Complainant Said:

The lawsuit has been filed by Faizan Ansari. In the FIR, he alleged the duo trivialized the seriousness of cervical cancer and manipulated the emotions of many. He requested that they both be arrested and produced at a Kanpur court. 

"Poonam Pandey and her husband Sameer Bombay have fabricated a false conspiracy of death. Along with this, they have made a joke out of diseases like cancer. Poonam orchestrated the drama for publicity and played with the emotions of millions of Indians and the Bollywood film industry,” reads a part of an FIR.
