A lawyer representing Bollywood actress Mallika Sherawat has asked the police to probe an MMS, featuring a `look-alike' of the actress allegedly engaged in a sexual act. In a letter written to Mumbai Police Commissioner A N Roy, lawyer Vibhav Krishna said the six-minute long MMS was reportedly being circulated widely in the city and elsewhere. It was the `handiwork of mischief mongers', Krishna told PTI adding, "I have not seen the clip but have heard about it." Krishna said he had also written to the social security branch at the Cyber Crime Cell of the Mumbai police, saying the "offence should be probed under Section 67 of the Information Technology Act, which provides for a punishment for a first-time offender of five years' imprisonment and a Rs 1 lakh fine". Mallika is in Europe and unavailable for comment.
