It was based mostly on this {photograph} that the Mumbai Police had registered an FIR in opposition to Singh on expenses of obscenity on July 26. This explicit {photograph} was not a part of the seven images uploaded by the him on his Instagram account, Singh has claimed.

If it seems that the {photograph} has been morphed, Singh is prone to get a clear chit because the FIR was registered on the bottom that his non-public components have been seen in one of many images, sources stated.
The images uploaded by Singh in his Instagram account don’t come beneath the definition of obscenity, as no non-public components are seen, the sources added.
