Mumbai Lawmaker Urges Police Action Against Poonam Pandey for False Death Announcement
Mumbai legislator Satyajeet Tambe has called on the Mumbai police to take action against model-actor Poonam Pandey for spreading false news of her own death. Tambe, an independent member of the Maharashtra Legislative Council, believes that a case should be filed against Pandey as a deterrent for those who engage in such attention-seeking tactics for self-promotion.
The controversy began when news of Pandey’s alleged death from cervical cancer circulated widely, sparking intense debates on social media. However, the news was never confirmed by PTI, the official news agency. On Saturday, the 32-year-old model-actor clarified that she was alive and revealed that the fake news was intentionally disseminated to raise “critical awareness” about the disease.
Tambe argues that Pandey should face consequences for “making or publishing false or misleading information.” He emphasizes that using the news of a celebrity’s death to spread awareness about a serious illness undermines the gravity of the issue and shifts the focus away from the actual disease. Tambe also criticizes Pandey for pulling a prank on cancer survivors instead of genuinely raising awareness.
The lawmaker’s demand for action against Pandey highlights the need to discourage individuals from using deceptive tactics for personal gain. It remains to be seen how the Mumbai police will respond to this call for accountability.
