Police said the case has been registered under sections 292 (dealing with publishing obscene material), 293 (selling obscene objects to young person) and 509 (word, gesture or act intended to insult the modesty of a woman) of the Indian Penal Code and section 67 (A) of the Information Technology Act, 2000 (publishing sexually explicit material).

The lawyer said she has two daughters and four other girls in the family and because of the photographs, she had to keep telling them to not open social media accounts and even news portals.

In her complaint, lawyer Vedika Chaubey said: “Last week, I saw many nude photographs of actor Ranveer Singh on social media and the photographs were clicked in such a manner that any male or female will feel ashamed about it.

“This clearly shows that he has nothing to do with the Indian culture and he is least bothered about the people living in the country and abroad but his only concern is to earn crores of rupees by damaging the cultures and traditions of India.”

She alleged that actors such as Ranveer Singh can go to any extent for publicity. “By doing this act, the actor has crossed all limits of a cultured and gentlemen person,” the complaint added.

Police officials said the actor posted the pictures on his social media account on July 21.
