Mumbai police to record Ranveer Singh's statement in nude photoshoot case

Actor Ranveer Singh would be questioned by the Mumbai Police in a case registered against him for posting nude photographs of himself on social media.

According to PTI sources, the police will record his statement on August 22.

The actor will be called to the police station on August 22 to "join the investigation," PTI reported citing an official.


Personnel of the Chembur police station in the city on Friday visited Singh's residence to serve him a notice to join the probe, but were informed that he was not in Mumbai, the official said.

Singh 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.

A First Information Report (FIR) was registered against Ranveer Singh 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 complaint claimed.
