It was alleged that she had not only violated the medical authorities’ advice of self-quarantine but hidden her positive diagnosis and gone on to perform at several parties where noted dignitaries including Parliamentarians and civil service officers were present. It resulted in severe backlash on social media due to her contradictory statements on the situation and FIRs being filed against her for gross negligence.
