Case against DHFL's Wadhawans, others for violating lockdown norms
MUMBAI: An offence has been registered against DHFL promoters Kapil and Dheeraj Wadhawan and 21 others, including their family members, for travelling to a hill station in violation of prohibitory orders during the coronavirus-enforced lockdown, an official said on Friday.
The offence under relevant sections of the IPC and the Disaster Management Act, one of them related to the disobedience of lawful order, was filed at the Mahabaleshwar Police Station in Satara district of Maharashtra, they said.
Wadhawan family members along with others were detained by civic officials on Thursday from their Diwan Villa farmhouse in Mahabaleshwar, a popular hill station located more than 300km from Mumbai, an official said.
Though lockdown is in force, all the 23 persons had travelled from Khandala to Mahabaleshwar on Wednesday evening in their cars despite Pune and Satara districts being sealed to contain the viral infection, he said.
