A
notice
was
served
on
Bollywood
singer
Kanika
Kapoor
on
Monday
regarding
an
FIR
registered
against
her
for
negligence
and
committing
acts
likely
to
spread
a
disease
dangerous
to
life,
police
said.
She
has
been
asked
to
report
at
Sarojini
Nagar
Police
Station
on
April
30
and
record
her
statement,
they
said.
"The
notice
has
been
served
on
Kapoor
and
she
has
been
asked
to
visit
Sarojini
Nagar
Police
Station,
where
an
FIR
under
IPC
sections
269
(negligent
act
likely
to
spread
infection
of
disease
dangerous
to
life),
270
(malignant
act
likely
to
spread
infection
of
disease
dangerous
to
life),
188
(disobedience
to
order
duly
promulgated
by
public
servant)
was
registered
against
her
on
March
20," a
senior
police
official
said
in
Lucknow.
"If
the
notice
is
not
followed,
the
accused
could
be
arrested
and
produced
to
the
court," he
said.
The
FIR
was
lodged
on
a
complaint
of
the
Lucknow
chief
medical
officer.
The
popular
singer
had
tested
positive
for
novel
coronavirus
on
March
20.
She
came
under
attack
for
negligence
and
not
practising
self-quarantine
despite
returning
to
the
country
from
the
UK
amid
the
coronavirus
pandemic.
Kapoor
was
booked
by
the
Uttar
Pradesh
Police
for
negligence
and
committing
acts
that
were
likely
to
spread
the
infection
after
she
attended
at
least
three
gatherings
in
Lucknow,
including
a
party
where
political
personalities,
including
senior
BJP
leader
and
former
Rajasthan
chief
minister
Vasundhara
Raje
and
her
son,
Dushyant
Singh,
were
present.
In
a
statement
on
Sunday,
the
singer
said
she
is
aware
of
'several
versions
of
stories' about
her
diagnosis,
but
'negativity
thrown
at
a
person
does
not
change
the
reality'.
"Some
of
these
seem
to
be
fuelled
even
more
because
I
have
chosen
to
be
silent
till
now.
I
stayed
quiet
not
because
I
am
wrong
but
in-fact
being
fully
aware
that
there
have
been
misunderstandings
and
wrong
exchanges
of
information.
I
was
giving
time
for
the
truth
to
prevail
and
for
people
to
reach
their
own
realisation,"
she
said.
The
singer
clarified
that
she
travelled
to
Lucknow
to
meet
her
family
on
March
11
and
claimed
there
was
no
screening
setup
for
domestic
flights.
On
March
14
and
15,
Kapoor
said
she
attended
a
friend's
lunch
and
dinner
and
clarified
there
was
no
party
hosted
by
me
and
I
was
in
absolute
normal
health.
However,
on
March
17
and
18,
she
developed
symptoms
and
said
she
got
herself
tested
on
March
19.
"On
March
20
when
informed
that
my
test
was
positive,
I
chose
to
go
to
the
hospital.
I
was
discharged
after
three
negative
tests
and
have
since
been
at
home
for
21
days," she
added.
