Guru Randhawa ‘regrets’ violating Covid-19 prevention norms
The Bollywood singer was booked after partying at a nightclub in Mumbai
Popular singer Guru Randhawa was one of 34 celebrities arrested and subsequently released on bail by Mumbai Police for flouting Covid-19 prevention norms at a club here. His team issued a statement saying that the singer deeply regrets the unintentional incident.
“Guru Randhawa, who had stepped out for dinner with close friends before returning back to Delhi the same morning, deeply regrets the unintentional incident that occurred last night. Unfortunately, he was not aware of local authorities’ decision of night curfew but instantly conformed to all rules laid out by the government officials,” read a statement issued on behalf of the singer by his management team.
“He promises to comply with government guidelines and protocols by taking all precautionary measures in the future. By far, he has been a law-abiding citizen and will continue to do so in the future as well,” the statement added.
Earlier, Mumbai Police had tweeted: “A raid was conducted at a nightclub in Andheri at around 3am, for flouting COVID prevention norms. Action has been initiated against 34 people, out of which 19 were from Delhi & Punjab, including some celebrities #NewNormal.”
Indian cricketer Suresh Raina, who was also rounded in the raid, also issued a statement apologising, while adding he wasn’t aware of the state norms.
Meanwhile, the Mumbai-based Sussane Khan, former wife of actor Hrithik Roshan, was also reportedly at the club.
