Pakistani actress Veena Malik sues over FHM nude photo

Pakistani actress Veena Malik has filed a defamation suit against FHM India for a "morphed" cover photo of her posing nude with the initials of Pakistan's intelligence agency, ISI, on her arm.

One of the world's most powerful spy agencies, a Bollywood glamour puss and a missing pair of knickers – this month's cover of FHM India has all the risqué elements needed for maximum lads' mag impact.

But even before the December issue hits the news-stands the controversial front page has triggered a media frenzy, threats of legal action and a promise by Pakistan's government to investigate whether the offending image has been doctored.

Veena Malik, a Pakistani actress, admits posing topless with the letters ISI stencilled on her arm, a reference to Pakistan's shadowy Inter-Services Intelligence directorate in a cheeky dig at Indian paranoia. Her hands protect her modesty.

However, she has accused the publication of doctoring the photograph, leaving her completely naked.
