Actor Sonakshi Sinha reportedly approached the police after coming across objectionable morphed pictures of herself being shared on social media. Following her complaint, the Bandra Police filed a case and arrested Delhi-based Aryan Deepak Jain. However, a Mumbai court has now directed his release, turning down the police's request for three days of custody over procedural irregularities during his arrest.

Sonakshi Sinha files complaint over morphed pics

Aryan was arrested around 10:11 AM from the Jagatpuri Police Station area in Delhi's Shahdara and subsequently flown to Mumbai. The Bandra Police then produced him before a magistrate, seeking his custody to recover the electronic device allegedly used to create and circulate the morphed pictures. However, the court raised a question over why he was not produced before a local magistrate in Delhi before being brought to Mumbai.
