Mumbai: BMC’s K west ward on Monday filed a police complaint against Big Boss fame actor Gauahar Khan for flouting Coronavirus protocol. Officials said despite testing positive on March 11, she had stepped out for a film shoot.

According to the complaint, when officials reached Khan’s home at Oshiwara, Andheri, on Sunday, she refused to open the door and allowed herself to get hand-stamped only after several requests. “We received a complaint that she was moving around, risking her life and that of others too. When our staff reached her home on Sunday night, her husband initially said she was in a flat in the adjacent wing. We decided to take police help following which Khan allowed us to stamp her. We have now asked her to move into institutional quarantine at the PWD guest house, while her high-risk contacts have been asked to quarantine themselves too,” assistant municipal commissioner Vishwas Mote said.

Khan’s father passed away earlier this month. Officials did not confirm if he was infected as well. They said Khan had two reports—a positive report dated March 11 from Mumbai, and a Delhi report of March 12 showing she was negative. “Even if one report is positive, quarantine is mandatory,” said Mote.

Police spokesperson DCP S Chaitanya said a case has been registered against the actor under various sections of the IPC as well as under the NDMA Act and Epidemic Diseases Act.

TOI reached out to Gauahar Khan, but she did not respond.
