Reports about my arrest ‘completely incorrect’ | The Asian Age Online, Bangladesh
Sussanne Khan has denied reports that she was arrested earlier this week for flouting Covid-19 protocols at a Mumbai party. She said that it is ‘incorrect’ and ‘irresponsible’ to report that she was arrested.
Hrithik Roshan’s ex-wife, Sussanne Khan, has issued a clarification after it was reported on Tuesday that she had been booked for violating Covid-19 protocols at a Mumbai club. It was also reported that cricketer Suresh Raina had also been arrested. In a social media post titled ‘my humble clarification’, Sussanne wrote that she was not arrested, and expressed her appreciation for the Mumbai Police.
“Last night I was at a close friend’s birthday dinner & a few of us extended to the Dragon Fly club at JW Marriott, Sahar. At 2.30 am the authorities entered the club. Whilst the club management and the authorities were sorting things out, all the guests present were asked to wait for a period of three hours. We were finally allowed to leave at 6 am. Therefore, the speculation by parts of the media that there were arrests made are completely incorrect and also irresponsible,” she wrote.
She added, “I fail to understand why we were made to wait or what the issue was with the authorities and the club. I am setting the record straight with this statement. I have utmost regard & respect for the Mumbai Police and for all their selfless efforts in keeping us Mumbaikars safe. Without their constant vigilance for public welfare, we would not feel safe. Best regards, Sussane.”
