A few days ago,Ranveer Singh had been issued a notice by Mumbai police with respect to the ongoing case around his nude photoshoot for the international magazine Paper. Now, the actor, who was summoned to appear before the Mumbai police on August 22, has written a letter to the authorities informing them that he will not be able to appear before them for two weeks, according to media reports.
The Mumbai Police said in a statement, “Chembur police station had summoned actor Ranveer Singh asking him to appear tomorrow. The actor has sought 2 weeks time to appear, now fresh summons will be sent by Chembur police after fixing a new date: Mumbai Police.”
Mumbai Police would be recording Ranveer Singh's statement in a case registered against him for posting nude photographs of himself on social media, an official said last week. The actor was to be called to the police station on August 22 to "join the investigation," he said.
An FIR was registered against the Jayeshbhai Jordaar actor 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 the modesty of a woman) and provisions of the Information Technology Act.
Previously, a Mumbai-based Non-Governmental Organisation (NGO) also filed an application through a lawyer, demanding a case against Ranveer on the charge of intent to outrage the modesty of women.
