Maharashtra MLC urges police intervention in the matter

Maharashtra MLC Satyajeet Tambe has sought action of the Mumbai Police to book influencers who create awareness through such crass jokes. He said the whole situation was extremely demeaning for all cancer patients and survivors. In a statement, he said, “The news of an influencer/model dying of cervical cancer cannot be a means to spread awareness about the disease. The entire episode takes away the serious nature of cervical cancer and diverts the attention entirely to the influencer.” There are quite a few people who have said that Poonam Pandey should face legal repercussions for a joke of this kind. He further added, “Action should be taken against her as she “made or published false or misleading information.”
