Just when she thought it was all over, former Miss Jammu Anara Gupta - accused of starring in a porn video only to have her name cleared by a forensic laboratory - finds herself dragged into the controversy again.

A Hyderabad laboratory gave a clean chit to Anara, but now forensic experts in Chandigarh claim they tallied 60 of her photographs with the porn video attributed to her and found "mostly similar" features.

Her family, which had heaved a sigh of relief after weeks of "police harassment", now finds itself pleading her innocence again.

"My daughter is innocent and can face any trial because she has nothing to hide," Raj Rani, Anara's mother, told reporters here.

"How did this Chandigarh laboratory report surface?" asked Raj Rani.

The Central Forensic Sciences Laboratory (CFSL) in Chandigarh Wednesday said Anara's photographs were tallied scientifically with the facial features of the girl in the video. The girl could be Anara as features tallied with her photographs, it said.

CFSL director R.S. Verma said the tape and pictures were sent to them by the Jammu police Jan 27 and the findings were sent back Feb 7.

The Chandigarh report gave the Anara case a new turn barely four days after police withdrew their cases against her.

The report that the girl in the porn video could be Anara contradicts an earlier report by CFSL Hyderabad that her features did not match those of the girl in the video.

The Hyderabad-based CFSL, however, stands by its report, giving a clean chit to Anara.

"I can't say anything on this. May be the tapes and videos they examined were different," said laboratory director K.P.C Gandhi.

Defending the Hyderabad report, he said after five hours of detailed study they found that the girl in the CD was not Anara.

"We compared the CD as per forensic biometric studies from head to toe, including the fingers and toes and the hairline," he said.

"Two CDs or any two forensic samples examined under the same conditions by using the standard methodology will bear the same results," Gandhi said, implying that the Chandigarh laboratory may have examined other tapes.

Anara and a cable operator were arrested by the Jammu and Kashmir Police Nov 4 for allegedly producing pornographic movies and were later released on bail.
