A complaint was filed at the Chembur police station, over his nudes, by an office-bearer of a Non-Governmental Organisation (NGO), also based in the east Mumbai suburb, and a woman lawyer.
The NGO office-bearer stated the actor had hurt the sentiments of women in general and insulted their modesty through his photographs. The application filed by the lawyer also demanded a case against Ranveer Singh on the charge of intent to outrage the modesty of women.
