A Finnish man and his Indian girlfriend were arrested in India after neighbours complained they were playing pornographic movies with the volume turned up too loudly.

Exhibiting pornography and possessing pornographic materials are illegal in India. If convicted, the two could face three months in prison and a fine.

The two were arrested at the Finnish man’s home in the town of Gurgaon, a centre of India’s information technology and outsourcing business, an officer said.

Aside from arresting the couple, officers also seized a television and CD player, he said.

The couple, who were not identified, were granted bail yesterday.

No date has been set for the hearing, said the police officer.
