Singh left the police station at around 9.30 am, the official said adding that the actor will be called again, if required.
The complainant had claimed the actor “hurt the sentiments of women in general and insulted their modesty through his photographs.”
Based on the complaint, the police had registered the FIR against Singh under various sections of the Indian Penal Code and provisions of the Information Technology Act, an official earlier said.
