As the country continues to battle against the Covid-19 pandemic, several restrictions have been placed by the respective state governments in an attempt to curb the spread of the virus. Meanwhile, Bollywood actors Tiger Shroff and Disha Patani have been booked by the Bandra Police in Mumbai for allegedly violating the lockdown rules on Wednesday.

According to a statement by the police, rumoured couple Tiger Shroff and Disha Patani were found roaming around at Bandstand Promenade and could not provide a valid explanation to the police for being out of their homes after 2 pm. An order issued by the Maharashtra government states that all essential shops are allowed to operate between 7 am to 2 pm. The state is under a lockdown until June 15. "A police team spotted Shroff roaming in the Bandstand area in the evening. When questioned, he couldn't give a satisfactory reply to why he was roaming outside. Police took down his details and registered a case," an official was quoted as saying by a news agency.

An FIR has been registered against Tiger Shroff and Disha Patani under sections 188 (disobedience of orders promulgated by a public servant) and 34 (common intention) of the Indian Penal Code. Their driver has been booked as well. The officer added that it was a bailable offense and that no arrests have been made yet.
