Responding to Poonam Pandey's media statement that she wants to take back her complaint against her newly-married husband film director Sam Bombay whom she had accused of molestation, criminal intimidation and assault, Goan actress and model Poonam Karekar Govekar said that she always knew that Pandey's FIR was fake and was just a publicity stunt. Poonam Pandey who spoke to Spotboye.com today said she was taking back her complaint and wanting to patch up with her husband. She has not shown any photos of bruises or injuries on her face and body, as was alleged in her complaint. She said her husband had begged her to forgive him and she wanted to start all over again,

Alleging that the entire Poonam Pandey molestation episode and police FIR sounds fishy, Goan actress and model Poonam Karekar Govekar today launched a #Justice4SamBombay online campaign to support Poonam Pandey's newly-married husband who in her opinion has been wrongly accused of molestation, etc.,

The whole India is talking about Justice for Sushant Singh Rajput, but here is a story which has gone largely unnoticed. It is a story about justice for men abused and ill-treated by their own wives with an ulterior criminal intent.

Poonam Pandey had accused her live-in partner of more than two years of molestation. Does this sound normal. If he was a wife-beater, if he was violent, if he was extra-possessive, why would a woman like Poonam Pandey who has seen and done it all in her life, marry him, Karekar has asked in her online campaign while soliciting support for Sam Bombay.

She says Poonam Pandey should not pretend to be so naïve and innocent. This seems to be a well-thought out plan or a cold-blooded publicity stunt.

Poonam Pandey has seen it all and done it all. She is in the industry for the last 10 years. She cannot claim that she thought so and so. There is more than what meets the eye. I think Sam Bombay is the real victim because now Poonam Pandey is going to demand a huge `settlement` or alimony and will go for a divorce. This is a money making racket. If her husband was a wife beater and still she was living-in with him for two years, why did she marry him. Poonam Pandey is definitely not as innocent as she is trying to sound, Karekar said. It is my opinion that the husband of Poonam Pandey, Sam Bombay is the real victim. This is a well-thought of, cold-blooded conspiracy hatched by Poonam Pandey or its a mastermind publicity stunt in which both husband and wife are consenting parties, opines Poonam Karekar Govekar, adding that Poonam Pandey has not shown any photos of the assault and the bruises on her body. She was always ready to strip naked at the drop of a hat and post the images on her Insta, now why hasn't she shown photos of her wounds. The entire incident is very fishy. The FIR registered against her husband is a gross misuse of the laws of the land.

Poonam Pandey who broke her silence on Tuesday for the first time after the incident happened said that her relationship with Sam was always violent but she had hoped that getting married would change things. She said Sam would get very possessive about her and lose his temper. She claims she has made the decision not to go back to him.

Speaking to The Times of India, Poonam revealed all about what happened in Goa. `Sam and I had an argument, which escalated, and he began hitting me. He choked me and I thought I was going to die. He punched me in my face, pulled me by my hair and banged my head against the corner of the bed. He knelt on my body, pinned me down and assaulted me. Somehow, I managed to break free and bolted out of the room. The hotel staff called the cops, who took him away. I filed a complaint against him,` she said.

Poonam says she will end her marriage with Sam after he beat her 'like an animal'. `This time, I don't plan to go back to him. I don't think it's a smart idea to return to a person, who has beaten you up like an animal, without even thinking of the consequence. In a bid to save our relationship, I have suffered a lot. I prefer being single than in an abusive relationship. I have decided to end our marriage. It's about time I moved on.`
