In a major development in the Ranveer Singh nude photoshoot case, Mumbai police will send the photos to the Forensic Science Laboratory (FSL) in Kalina to verify actor's claim of pics being morphed. If the FSL report endorses the actor's claim he would be absolved of all the charges. On August 29, the police had summoned the actor as part of the investigation against him posing in the buff.
During questioning, Singh told them that photos were tampered with. In one such photo his genitals were allegedly visible. He has sent us all the pictures that were taken during the photo shoot (by a New York-based magazine). The photos that were doing the rounds on social media were not in the collection he submitted to us. Hence, we will send all the pictures to FSL, to verify if any one of them was actually tampered with and morphed,” said DCP (Zone VI) Krishna Kant Upadhyay. The actor's viral photo series for Paper magazine was a tribute to '70s pop icon Burt Reynold who went nude for a shoot for Cosmopolitan magazine in 1972.
