FIR lodged against Bollywood actors for violating quarantine rules

MUMBAI:

An FIR has been filed against Bollywood actors Arbaaz Khan and Sohail Khan and his son Nirvaan Khan for violating quarantine rules.

According to sources, the three had returned to Mumbai from the United Arab Emirates on December 25, 2020, and informed government officials that they would quarantine themselves at Hotel Taj Lands End in Mumbai.

Instead, they cancelled their hotel booking and directly went home.

The trio has been booked under IPC Sections 188 for disobedience to an order duly promulgated by a public servant and 269 for a negligent act, which is likely to spread infection of disease dangerous to life on Monday.

The hotel management told the officials that the three had not checked in for quarantine.

Sohail reportedly told officials they all tested negative for the virus, so they went home directly.
