The capital of Uttar Pradesh has gone into a lockdown since the Bollywood sensational singer Kanika Kapoor tested positive for coronavirus. Kanika has reportedly attended a party in the Uttar Pradesh capital where as many as 180 guests were present. Former Rajasthan Chief Minister Vasundhara Raje was also present in the party and is now in self-quarantine.
As per the latest orders of the Lucknow DM, all hotels, restaurants, cafes, and other eateries in the city will remain shut as the contact tracing in the city goes into overdrive.
The singer had flown down to Lucknow from London a few days ago and had attended a lavish party where top politicians, bureaucrats, and socialites were present.
The guests included, among others, Rajasthan MP Dushyant Singh, his mother and former chief minister Vasundhara Raje Scindia, UP health minister Jai Pratap Singh.
Jitin Prasada has quarantined himself at his ancestral house in Shahjahanpur, sources close to him say and the former minister’s aide says that this is a lapse from the government that they allowed the singer to go without check and without mandatory self-quarantine in the country.
