The actor appeared before the investigating officer around 7 am on Monday and his statement was recorded. He left the police station around 9.30 am, the official said.
Ranveer Singh gave his statement to the Mumbai Police on Monday in connection with the nude photoshoot case. He was summoned in connection with a case filed against him for posting naked photographs of himself on social media. Last month, a First Information Report (FIR) was filed against Singh at the Chembur police station in Mumbai on the basis of a complaint filed by an officer of a non-governmental organisation (NGO).
The police then served him with a summons to join the investigation. According to the official, the actor appeared before the investigating officer around 7 a.m. on Monday and his statement was recorded. Singh left the police station around 9.30 a.m., according to the official, who added that the actor would be called again if necessary.
The complainant had claimed the actor “hurt the sentiments of women in general and insulted their modesty through his photographs.”
Based on the complaint, the police had registered the FIR against Singh under various Indian Penal Code Sections like 292 (sale of obscene books, etc), 293 (sale of obscene objects to young people), 509 (word, gesture or act intended to insult modesty of a woman) and provisions of the Information Technology Act, an official earlier said.
