Ranveer Singh has been called for questioning by the Mumbai Police later this month in a case registered against him for posting nude photographs of himself on social media. As per reports, Ranveer has been asked to appear at the concerned station on August 22. Ranveer had recently posed nude for a cover shoot, following which a number of cases had been filed against him in Mumbai, alleging that his shoot hurt the sentiments of women.
As per PTI, the actor will be called to the police station on August 22 to “join the investigation,” a Mumbai Police official said. Personnel of the Chembur police station in the city on Friday visited the actor's residence to serve him a notice to join the probe, but were informed that he was not in Mumbai, the official said. Ranveer later told police that he would return on August 16. The notice will be served to him that day and he will be called to record a statement on August 22, the official added.
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.
