    Nude photoshoot case: Ranveer Singh says one photo was 'morphed'

    What's the story

    In July, Ranveer Singh set the internet on fire after stripping nude for Paper magazine.

    However, soon after, he drew flak for his "indecent" approach and "immorality" and an FIR was registered against him for "insulting women's sentiments."

    Appearing in front of the Mumbai Police to present his side of the story, Singh has now said that one of his photos was "morphed."

    Context

    Why does this story matter?

    Singh's photoshoot went viral within a few hours and caused a seemingly endless brouhaha.

    While one section of netizens attacked him for being "attention-hungry," several actors, such as Vidya Balan, Arjun Kapoor, and Alia Bhatt called him "bold" and "courageous."

    Singh had earlier defended himself and said, "I can be naked in front of a thousand people, I don't give a s**t."

    Clarification

    Cops have now sent the photos to forensic experts

    In his statement recorded on August 29, Singh told the cops that "one of his photos (that exposed his private parts) was morphed."

    He reportedly also maintained that his photos weren't obscene since he was "wearing underwear."

    Responding to the Befikre actor's claims, an officer disclosed, "We have sent the photos to a forensic science laboratory to ascertain if they had been morphed."

    FIR

    Complaint said the photos 'hurt women's sentiments, insulted their modesty'

    In July, the FIR was filed following a complaint raised by an NGO that accused Singh of "hurting the sentiments of women in general and insulting their modesty by posting nude photographs on social media platforms."

    Vedika Chaubey, one of the complainants, told IANS, "I have filed the complaint with my husband Abhishek Chaubey's NGO. The police have taken cognizance and registered an FIR."

    Information

    Which sections was Singh booked under?

    The FIR was filed under various sections of the Indian Penal Code (IPC) including Sections 292 (sale of obscene books), 293 (sale of obscene objects to young people), 509 (word, gesture, or act intended to insult women's modesty), and provisions of the Information Technology Act.
