A day after Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) filed an FIR against Gauahar Khan for allegedly violating COVID-19 protocols despite testing positive, the actor's team has issued a statement refuting all allegations. Gauahar's team stated that she had tested negative in multiple reports, adding that she is “a law abiding citizen and complying with all the norms of BMC.” The team even shared Gauahar's COVID-19 test report with the media.
The full statement reads, “For everyone sending their best wishes and concern for Gauahar Khan, here’s the latest report. She’s tested negative in multiple reports. She’s a law abiding citizen and complying with all the norms of BMC. This is to appeal for all the speculation to be put to an end. Gauahar Khan is cooperating with everything that the BMC requires. Requesting all the media houses to not indulge in speculation and respect Gauahar’s emotionally lowest low time as she’s just lost her father 10 days ago and she’s going through everything that is expected from her by the BMC.”
Posting a copy of the FIR on Twitter the BMC had written on Monday, “ 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”
