MUMBAI: Two applications were filed with Mumbai Police on Monday (July 26) seeking the registration of a First Information Report (FIR) against Bollywood actor Ranveer Singh for ‘hurting sentiments of women’ through his nude photographs on social media, an official said. The complaint applications were submitted separately at the Chembur police station by an office-bearer of a Non-Governmental Organisation (NGO), also based in the east Mumbai suburb, and a woman lawyer.

He demanded the registration of a case against the actor under the Information Technology Act and various sections of the Indian Penal Code.
