A First Information Report (FIR) against Bollywood actor Ranveer Singh has been registered for ‘hurting sentiments of women’ through his nude photographs on social media.
The complaint applications were submitted separately at the Chembur police station by an office-bearer of a Non-Governmental Organisation (NGO), also based in the east Mumbai suburb, and a woman lawyer.
The NGO office-bearer stated the actor has hurt the sentiments of women in general and insulted their modesty through his photographs, the official said. He demanded the registration of a case against the actor under the Information Technology Act and various sections of the Indian Penal Code.
The application filed by the lawyer, a former journalist, also demanded a case against Ranveer on the charge of intent to outrage the modesty of women. “We received applications from a person associated with an NGO and a woman lawyer on Monday in this matter. No FIR is registered so far. We are enquiring,” the official said.
Ranveer Singh recently took the internet by shock after he posted a nude picture for a photoshoot on social media. The actor went naked flaunting his ripped body and toned muscles, looking straight out of an ancient Greek statue.
On the work front, Singh was last seen in comedy-drama ‘Jayeshbhai Jordaar’. He will be next seen in Rohit Shetty’s next directorial ‘Cirkus’ with Jacqueline Fernandes and Pooja Hegde. The film is slated for Christmas 2022 release.
