Jammu, Aug 16: Acting on an order of the Jammu and Kashmir High Court, the state government has set up a special investigating team to conduct a fresh probe into former beauty queen Anara Gupta's alleged appearance in a porn film.

The three-member SIT is headed by senior superintendent of police Aziz Khan. Its other members were deputy superintendent of police Ashok Sharma and inspector Lal Chand, official sources said on Tuesday.

The case had rocked the state two years ago. The police last year dropped their case against Anara, who was crowned Miss Jammu in 2001, after a forensic laboratory concluded that the woman in the film was not her.

Anara was arrested with seven persons in connection with the case in November 2003.

In February, Jammu's chief judicial magistrate Sanjay Dhar directed the state police chief to reopen the case and probe it afresh by an honest and dedicated police officer of the rank of deputy inspector general.
