Mumbai Police has begun ‘technical investigation’ into the matter. FileThe Mumbai Police, which has booked actor Ranveer Singh on charges of obscenity for allegedly posting photographs from his nude photoshoot for Paper magazine on his Instagram account, has begun “technical investigation” into the matter.
The cyber police has also been roped in by the local Chembur police to get details like the device from which the photos were uploaded, the accounts that were involved in sharing it and the location where the photoshoot took place, sources said.
The police said that while it is known that the actor himself uploaded the photos on July 21, they want to gather technical evidence regarding the same. “Initially, we are focussing on getting the IP address of the device using which the photos were uploaded… for which we are taking help of the cyber police,” said an officer.
“Currently, we are focused on the technical aspects of the probe. Once that is done, we may summon him to record his statement,” the officer added.
