Indian actor Ranveer Singh appeared before the police on Monday to record his statement in a case registered against him for sharing his nude photographs on his Instagram account.
The Bollywood actor’s images were from a photoshoot last month for New York-based Paper magazine.
A preliminary chargesheet was registered against the actor in Mumbai last month under various sections of India’s criminal code.
The charges included “hurting women’s sentiments and modesty”.
“The actor appeared before the investigation officer today morning at 7am and his statement was recorded till 9.30pm,” an officer told The Indian Express newspaper. “Based on our questionnaire, he has given a handwritten statement to us.”
After the images were released on 22 July, Mumbai-based matrimonial lawyer Vedika Chaubey and a nonprofit, the Shyam Mangaram Foundation had filed a complaint against Singh, requesting the police to investigate whether the 37-year-old actor had intended to offend women.
