The state water resources department on Tuesday filed a police complaint accusing “unknown persons” of trespassing its property, shooting and circulating an obscene video. A short video was also recorded at the site during the shoot, which prompted police to file a case against “unknown persons” under Indian Penal Code’s Section 294 for obscenity.  Deputy police superintendent Nelson Albuquerque told the protesters on Thursday that they have suspended the inspector who allegedly facilitated the actor to conduct the photoshoot at the Canacona Reservoir.
