In an apparent dig at actors Tiger Shroff and Disha Patani, after they were booked for allegedly violating Covid-19 protocols, the Mumbai Police on Thursday urged citizens via a tweet to not go âMalang' on the streets and âavoid unnecessary Heropanti'.
"In the ongoing âWar' against the virus, going âMalang' on the streets of Bandra cost dearly to two actors who have been booked under sections 188, 34 IPC by Bandra PStn . We request all Mumbaikars to avoid unnecessary âHeropanti' which can compromise on safety against #COVID19," Mumbai Police posted on Twitter.
