Gauahar Khan issues official statement after BMC filed an FIR against her for flouting COVID 19 rules

On Monday morning, the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation's (BMC) K-west ward filed an FIR against model and actor Gauahar Khan for flouting COVID-19 protocols. According to the Times of India report, the civic officials said that the actress had stepped out for film shooting despite being tested positive for the virus. "Our staff had visited Khan's home on March 11 and she gave an undertaking that she would not step outside the house," stated Vishwas Mote, the Assistant Municipal Commissioner of K-west ward.

Now finally, on Monday evening, Gauahar Khan's team issued an official statement to refute the BMC’s claim against the actress. The official statement also clarified that the actress has been tested negative in multiple reports. They also issued the latest COVID-19 report of Gauahar, which shows the actress testing negative, recently. The official statement issued by Gauahar's team read as, "For everyone sending their best wishes and concern for Gauahar Khan, here's the latest report. She has 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 from her by the BMC. So with folded hands, we want Gauahar's time to herself, respectfully, and let her heart heal in this mourning time."
