Actor Ranveer Singh has asked for two weeks time after Mumbai police summoned him in the nude photoshoot case. He was required to appear at Chembur police station but has asked for an extension. Mumbai Police said in a statement, “Chembur police station had summoned actor Ranveer Singh asking him to appear tomorrow. The actor has sought two weeks time to appear, now fresh summons will be sent by Chembur police after fixing a new date : Mumbai Police.”
The police would be recording Ranveer Singh’s statement in a case registered against him for posting nude photographs of himself on social media, an official said. Police personnel also visited Ranveer’s residence to serve him a notice to join the probe, but were informed that he was not in Mumbai. The actor later told the police that he would return on August 16. The notice was served to him that day and he was called to record a statement on August 22.
An FIR was registered against Ranveer at Chembur police station last month on the basis of a complaint filed by an office-bearer of a non-profit organization. The actor “hurt the sentiments of women in general and insulted their modesty through his photographs.”
The actor sparked controversy after posting the images online from his photo shoot for Paper Magazine.
