Mayday: Crew members of Ajay Devgn starrer booked for violating COVID-19 rules

The second wave of Coronavirus is here. The rise in positive cases is alarming and the government has now put into force stricter restrictions. On April 3, Vasai cops booked a few crew members, of Ajay Devgn’s upcoming directorial Mayday, for flouting COVID-19 rules.

According to a report in MidDay, Police Inspector Bhausaheb Ahire of Manikpur police said that while patrolling they found people flouting COVID rules.

Ahire further told the daily, “After seeing the large set up at Suncity grounds, we called the location manager who told us that he has secured permission from the tahsildar to shoot for the film. The location manager told us that Ajay Devgn was to come to shoot in Vasai. Around 15 people at the set were not following COVID rules. Either they were not wearing masks, or it was hanging down to protect their chins. They were also not maintaining social distancing.” 

The Vasai police have registered a case under Sections 188 (Disobedience to order duly promulgated by public servant) and 269 (Act likely to spread the infection of any disease dangerous to life) of the Indian Penal Code and under the provisions of the Disaster Management Act.
