The two actors were reportedly roaming without any valid reason after 2 pm. Pantani and Shroff were found in Bandstand Promenade by the police. After this, the duo was reportedly registered under Section 188 (Disobeying the order of public servant) of the Indian Penal Code (IPC). Read more on that here.

Ayesha Shroff, mother of Tiger Shroff took to Instagram to defend her son after the news of FIR being filed surfaced online. She claimed that the couple was heading home and the police were simply checking their Aadhaar cards.

Ayesha said that media outlets should get their facts right before spreading news like this. However, the official  Mumbai Police has posted a tweet regarding the duo being booked without naming them. In a creative twist, the police mentioned the films they starred in instead of their names.

In the ongoing ‘War’ against the virus, going ‘Malang’ on the streets of Bandra cost dearly to two actors who have been booked under sections 188, 34 IPC by
Bandra PStn . We request all Mumbaikars to avoid unnecessary ‘Heropanti’ which can compromise on safety against #COVID19
