Recently,
TikTok
star
Faisal
Shaikh
aka
Faisu
got
into
trouble
after
a
complaint
was
filed
against
him
for
allegedly
violating
lockdown
rules.
The
complaint
stated
that
his
videos
are
provoking
people
to
step
out.
The
complaint
was
filed
at
the
Amboli
Police
Station
and
the
Cyber
Crime
Cell
on
Monday
(March
30)
by
advocate
Ali
Kashif
Khan.
Faisu
has
finally
broken
his
silence
and
issued
an
official
statement.
In
an
open
statement,
Faisu
said
that
the
lawyer,
Ali
Kashif
is
known
to
have
a
dubious
reputation
and
has
been
defaming
him
in
the
media
on
false
allegations
of
not
following
the
lockdown.
He
added
that
some
people
are
spreading
false
news
and
feels
that
it's
best
not
to
engage
with
such
people.
On
the
contrary,
the
digital
influencer
is
creating
videos
to
spread
and
promote
awareness
on
#Lockdown
#Stayathome
and
#socialdistancing
during
the
pandemic.
Mr
Faisu's
statement
read,
"As
a
responsible
citizen,
I
have
appealed
to
my
audience
on
#socialdistancing
#stayathome
and
#lockdown
through
my
videos
on
Tiktok
and
Instagram
platforms.
I
continue
to
support
the
government's
initiatives
to
fight
this
pandemic.
At
an
unprecedented
time
like
this
when
the
world
is
putting
its
efforts
towards
fighting
the
deadly
Coronavirus,
it
is
the
need
of
the
hour
that
we
try
to
be
the
best
version
of
ourselves,
be
more
empathetic
towards
others
and
use
our
respective
mediums
to
spread
awareness,
provide
support
or
keep
a
light
atmosphere."

The
statement
further
said,
"In
a
bid
to
do
the
same,
I
posted
a
video
with
the
hashtag
#socialdistancing
which
was
taken
out
of
context
by
some
people.
When
it
was
pointed
out
to
me,
I
deleted
the
same
immediately.
However,
some
people
with
dubious
past
and
intentions
are
now
spreading
false
news
about
me
and
while
I
feel
it's
best
not
to
engage
with
them,
I
need
to
put
the
record
straight
for
my
fans.
I
will
re-iterate
that
we
should
all
follow
the
government's
direction
and
stay
at
home
and
practice
social
distancing."
