Actor Ranveer Singh who recorded his statement before Chembur police as part of their probe into his posting nude pictures on social media denied having uploaded any photo that leaves little to the imagination.
An FIR was registered against the actor under sections 509, 292, and 294 of IPC and Section 67(A) of the IT Act after an NGO’s president lodged a complaint that he had hurt the sentiments of women in general and insulted their modesty. An officer said “While he admitted to have uploaded a few pictures on social media, he denied uploading the picture which was stark. We are collecting technical evidence.” Sources said he was asked details of the shoot contract, origin of the idea and who uploaded it on social media. Ranveer is believed to have told police that the shoot was not meant for India.
Ranveer was summoned earlier but as he was travelling for work, he had sought time. Earlier, he intimated senior officials that he would be joining in the investigations. Ranveer appeared before te police accompanied by his father and a lawyer.
