After a complaint was submitted seeking action against Singh for hurting sentiments and insulting women's modesty, a FIR was filed against him at the Chembur police station. Pictures from the Simmba actor's session for PAPER magazine went viral in July. What came next was a deluge of remarks, tweets, and memes. It's interesting to note that this is not the first instance in which we have seen someone charged for indecent behaviour or material.
Milind Soman, a model and actor, was charged with obscenity in 2020 after being arrested under IPC section 294 and section 67 of the IT Act in connection with a social media image in which he was seen sprinting naked along a goa beach. The goa police also arrested model and actress poonam pandey for "obscenity" during her video shoot that same year.
