Ex-‘Bigg Boss’ contestant Manoj Tiwari slammed for breaking lockdown rules by not wearing masks while playing cricket

Actor-politician Manoj Tiwari has recently visited Haryana’s Sonipat and was spotted, playing cricket with a group of people. The video clip has been shared by the former ‘Bigg Boss’ contestant himself where he was seen at Sheikhpura Unique Cricket Stadium in Sonipat, Haryana playing cricket. He was in his cricket uniform, with a helmet and safety pads. But he was not seen wearing masks and maintaining social distancing.

Taking to his Twitter handle, Manoj shared the video with a caption, “ईश्वर सबको खेल भावना से ओतप्रोत रखे.. सब स्वस्थ रहें.. सबकी immunity मज़बूत रहे.. (May God keep everyone filled with sports spirit. May everyone be healthy .. Everyone’s immunity be strong )”

Wearing masks is made mandatory by government for safety measures. In that case, a politician like Manoj Tiwari, not following rules is not acceptable.

He was slammed by a section of netizens for his careless behaviour. One user wrote, “Are you suppose to play cricket during lockdown?” While one wrote, “You should have maintained social distancing and worn mask while playing.”
