Worse than Taliban, screams Poonam

Controversy queen Poonam Pandey, who was rudely questioned by Mumbai cops for allegedly "misbehaving" with a man in her car, says her surname goes against her image.The incident took place Saturday night quite close to her home on Mira Road, Mumbai and the man, as it happens to be, was Poonam's own brother. "This is worse than the Taliban. It was 10:30 p.m. Not even late by metropolitan standards. I was with my brother, my own brother Aditya Pandey, and I wasn't drinking or misbehaving in the car at all, when I was questioned by cops."

Poonam says the cops behaved normally until they heard her name. "The minute I said I was Poonam Pandey, their attitude changed. They began to get aggressive. They wanted to know what I was doing in the car with a man. Woh mera sagaa bhai hai. My blood brother."
