The "Part of Me" singer was performing in India to mark the new Twenty20 cricket season when she invited Australian ace Doug Bollinger up to join her. Katy asked him to show her how to hold a bat, so the 30-year-old sportsman stood behind her, wrapped his arms round her and as Katy held her microphone, he put his hands on hers and lowered the microphone to her groin.
Although neither of them knew the gesture would cause offence, a bid to prosecute Katy for lewdness was being pursued by the High Court in Madras. The complaint filed by a lawyer slams the pose as "obscene and lascivious - appealing to prurient interest."
According to The Sun, Katy could be summoned to answer an indecency charge after judges rule on the accusation at the end of the month. "They were only having a bit of fun but obviously it can be deemed offensive. It may have been a bit saucy given where they were - but this all seems a bit excessive," a source added.

Katy Perry hid herself under her coat as she arrived in India for her wedding ceremony. The "Teenage Dream" singer and her husband-to-be, comedy actor Russell Brand, tried to avoid photographers at Mumbai airport yesterday, with Katy seemingly determined to keep her "Nath" - a traditional piece of Indian jewelry extending from her right ear to her nostril - under wraps.
The couple then flew to the city of Jaipur before taking a three hour drive to the luxury Aman-I-Khas resort, on the edge of a tiger reserve, where they are believed to be tying the knot on Saturday. Katy's parents, Keith and Mary Hudson, had earlier arrived at the resort - where guests sleep in 'eco-chic' luxury tents. Rihanna was also expected to arrive yesterday.
Russell, 35, and Katy, 25, are believed to have booked the resort for a week, and hired wedding planner Mindy Weiss to arrange the ceremony. They are rumored have four days of activities planned for guests in the run up to the ceremony, including a tiger safari and feast. A "Katy and Russell kicked things off by holding a Lagna, or engagement, ceremony," a source revealed.
