"Bollywood singer Kanika Kapoor who had attended several gatherings here and tested positive for coronavirus has been booked for negligence and disobedience to the order issued by a public servant, an official said.
The FIR was registered against at Sarojini Nagar police station, said Police Commissioner Surjit Pandey.
"An FIR was lodged at the Sarojini Nagar police station under IPC Sections 269 (negligent act likely to spread infection of disease dangerous to life), 270 (malignant act likely to spread infection of disease dangerÂous to life), 188 (disobedience to order duly promulgated by public servant)," he told PTI.
Two more FIRs are likely to be filed against the singer at the Hazratganj and Gomtinagar police stations as she had visited at least three gatherings in the areas falling under their jurisdiction.
Kapoor tested positive for coronavirus on Friday. After she tested positive, former Rajasthan Chief Minister Vasundhara Raje and her Member of Parliament son Dushyant isolated themselves for having attended the same party as Kapoor in Agra. Several politicians are believed to have attended the same event. The Kapoor and UP health minister Jai Pratap Singh, who also attended the event, have also self-quarantined themselves. The District Magistrate has also ordered a complete shutdown of all areas that the Bollywood singer had visited during the past seven days in the state capital."
