Katy Perry 'indecency' charge to go to court

Katy Perry with Aussie cricketer Doug Bollinger
Complaint ... Katy Perry and Doug Bollinger

AN indecency complaint against Katy Perry and Aussie cricketer Doug Bollinger will go to court, it has emerged. The playful onstage antics of the pop star and the sportsman, at the opening of the Indian Premier League in April, offended some members of the Indian public.

The indecency case, which relates to the moment Doug put his arms around Katy to demonstrate a cricket bat move at the Chennai event, will go before an Indian court later this month.
The pair have not been formally charged and will not have to appear in court.
The complaint is believed to have been filed by a lawyer who claims to be acting on the public's behalf and alleges the opening of the show was "obscene and lascivious" and "distracted students who were writing exams at the time".
A similar action was filed against Bollywood legend Amitabh Bachchan, while local press reported Bollywood actress Priyanka Chopra and IPL chairman Rajiv Shukla were also cited in the complaint.
The case will be heard on July 3
