Bollywood actress Sunny Leone has been booked by Dombivali police here for alleged distribution of obscene content on web and social networking sites.

The offence was registered based on a complaint by one Anjali Palan (30) a housewife who stated that while surfing the internet she found several obscene posts and pictures of the actress, they said.
Also, Palan found "objectionable" material on the actor's website Sunneyleone.Com.
