New Delhi: A social worker has approached the Delhi High Court questioning why Bollywood star Amitabh Bachchan’s voice is used as caller tune on Centre’s message for precautions against Coronavirus, when he himself, along with some family members, had been infected by the virus.

The plea, which said there were some famous corona warriors who were willing to provide services for free, came up for hearing on Thursday. The bench posted it for January 18 as the lawyer preferred to appear via video conferencing. The petition filed by Rakesh said the government engaged Bachchan for making people aware of preventive measures to fight the Covid-19 pandemic while the superstar himself as well as other members of his family could not escape it.

“There are some Corona warriors who have been doing great service to the nation and helping the poor and needy as well,” argued Rakesh.
