Actor accused of moving around without mask during Congress protest in Kochi against fuel price hike
The Maradu police have charged a case against actor Joju George for violating the COVID-19 protocol, on a petition filed by a Youth Congress activist.
Youth Congress State secretary P.Y. Shajahan had filed a petition with the Deputy Commissioner of Police, Kochi City, accusing the actor of moving around without mask and interacting with people without maintaining physical distancing at the busy Vyttila Junction, the scene of the protest staged by the District Congress Committee against fuel price hike on November 1. The petition was forwarded to the Maradu police.
“We have filed a case against the actor under the Kerala Epidemic Diseases Ordinance entailing a fine. The actor who is out of town has agreed to pay the fine once he returns,” police sources said.
