The arrests took place after a video was released from the party venue last night, which went viral on the social media. The surprise party seems to have gone awry as the number of people present at the gathering exceeded those allowed according to the Covid protocol.

In the video, blonde-haired Khan is being taken to a house with his eyes closed by a friend which then leads to a huge applause and cheers followed by dancing to a live band performance. A group of 30 to 40 persons dance together as Khan hugs many of them.

An FIR was lodged at the Satnampura police station at Phagwara today under the IPC and the Disaster Management Act.

SSP Kapurthala Harkamalpreet Singh said there were about 30 to 40 persons in the party in violation of Covd protocol. The singer and his friends have been identified and arrested. The singer was let off on bail later. The police are on the lookout for the rest of them who attended the party, including the band members.”
