FIR against Tiger Shroff, Disha Patani in Mumbai: Actors Disha Patani and Tiger Shroff were booked last night for allegedly violating lockdown rules in Mumbai. The couple had allegedly gone out for a drive without a valid reason.
The duo was stopped by policemen on patrolling duty at Bandra Bandstand on Tuesday Evening. After inquiring with the actors, the police came to know that they were on a drive, which was found to be in violation of the Mumbai Police's lockdown order, stating that an FIR can be filed if a person is found moving in a public place without an essential reason.
According to a senior Mumbai Police officer, an FIR has been registered against them on Wednesday under section 188 (Disobedience to order duly promulgated by public servant) of the IPC.
The Mumbai Police has registered more than 19,000 cases against over 20,000 people for lockdown violations between April 5 and June 1. Most of these cases have been registered against people who were found roaming in a public place without a reason, while many of the cases have been registered against people not wearing masks and crowding in public places. All the other cases have been registered against non-essential shops, hotels, and vehicle that violated lockdown rules.
Shroff and Patani however aren't the first celebrities from the entertainment industry to have been booked for not following COVID restrictions. In March, Actor Gauahar Khan was booked by the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation for allegedly shooting while she was tested positive for COVID-19. Sharing the FIR copy, the BMC tweeted, “No Compromise On City’s Safety! BMC has filed an FIR against a Bollywood actor for non-compliance to COVID19 guidelines on testing positive. The rules apply to all alike and we urge citizens to follow all guidelines and help the city beat the virus.” Read more about it here.
Meanwhile, Bollywood actor Vivek Oberoi was booked for not wearing a mask in a public place in February this year. The actor later thanked Mumbai Police for making him realise that safety is always most important. "Be safe,Wear a helmet & a mask," he tweeted.
On the work front, Patani was seen this year in the film Radhe alongside Salman Khan. Since cinema halls are closed due to the pandemic, Khan and Patani's film had a digital release. Patani is now working on an upcoming project KTina produced by Ekta Kapoor and will also be seen in the upcoming film Ek Villain 2.
