Guwahati: An FIR was filed against Bollywood actor Ranveer Singh on Tuesday for publishing nude photos on his Instagram page.
Chebur police registered the case and he has been arrested under section 292, 293 and 509 including 67 (A) of the Information Technology acts.
Mumbai based lawyer Vedika Chaubey filed the complaint claiming that the actor had offended women generally and mocked their modesty through his images.
Singh is well-known for his work in movies like Gully Boy, Padmaavat, and Bajirao Mastani. Additionally, he has won a number of accolades for his performances.
He recently performed a naked photo shoot for the global publication Paper. Fans and celebrities had varying reactions to the photo shoot; they either expressed amazement or applauded him.
The lawyer and an NGO each lodged a complaint against the actor at the Chembur police station. According to the police, Chaubey’s plea also requested that an actor be charged for intending to offend women’s modesty.
Ranveer Singh in an interview to Paper magazine had said, “I work f****** hard. I want to wear nice shit. Eat my f****** a**, I will wear nice f****** shit. I bust my balls, I work 20-hour days. I’m not complaining — I’m only too happy and too grateful — but I go f****** hard. I will f****** buy Gucci, I will wear it from head to toe. Anybody who judges me can eat my f****** a**.”
