Mumbai Police on Monday recorded Bollywood actor Ranveer Singh's statement, a month after he was booked for his nude photoshoot for a magazine. An FIR was registered against him for posting nude photos.
An officer said, “The actor appeared before the investigation officer today morning at 7 am and his statement was recorded till 9.30 am. Based on our questionnaire, he has given a handwritten statement to us.” Ranveer was summoned by Chembur police for questioning on 22nd August but actor sought more time to appear in front of police.
The case was registered on a complaint filed by a city-based Non-Governmental Organisation (NGO). The NGO had alleged that the actor hurt the sentiments of women in general and insulted their modesty by posting his nude photographs on social media platforms.
Late last month, Ranveer's viral photo series for Paper magazine sent the internet into a tizzy. The photoshoot was a tribute to '70s pop icon Burt Reynolds who also went nude in the 1972 shoot for Cosmopolitan magazine.
