Mumbai: A First Information Report or FIR was registered against actor Ranveer Singh in Mumbai today over his nude pictures on social media, officials have said.
The case was registered by the Mumbai police based 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 positing his nude photographs on social media platforms.
The complaint was filed by the office-bearer of the NGO at the Chembur police station yesterday.
A lawyer had also approached the police with a complaint against the actor, accusing him of posting the photographs with the intent to outrage the modesty of women.
