Sapna Bhavnani says, 'Censorship killing the vibe' after FIR against Milind Soman

Celebrity hairstylist Sapna Bhavnani took to her Twitter handle to express disappointment after Goa Police recently registered a case against model Milind Soman for allegedly promoting obscenity. Milind Soman posted a picture of himself running nude on a beach in the state to mark his birthday, a police official said on Saturday.

"So much censorship is killing the vibe," Bhavnani wrote. The case was registered on Friday, a day after Goa Suraksha Manch (GSM), a political outfit, lodged a complaint in this connection, he said. Soman had shared his picture on his Instagram profile, which showed him running nude on a beach to mark his 55th birthday.

“Soman has been booked under IPC section 294 (obscene act in public place) and section 67 of the Information and Technology Act after the complaint by Goa Suraksha Manch,” Superintendent of Police (South) Pankaj Kumar Singh said.
