BJD leader and comedian Papu Pompom alias Tatwa Prakash Satpathy, who was released on bail by Orissa High Court in an alleged casting couch case, was today booked by Cuttack city police for allegedly misbehaving with a woman advocate.
The advocate, associated with a Bhubaneswar-based NGO that was instrumental in "exposing" the actor in the 'casting couch' case in 2016, has alleged that the comedian along with two of his accomplices had misbehaved with her in a hotel located in Cuttack Sadar area last week, police said quoting her complaint.
She lodged the complaint with the police today.
Papu Pompom had secured bail in the 'casting couch' case in October 2016.
"On the basis of a written complaint, the Cuttack sadar police of the city has been entrusted to proceed in the case after conducting investigation," city deputy commissioner of police Akhileswar Singh said here.
The police have already interrogated the hotel staff in this connection, he said.
