The minister, along with his friends and other PTI supporters, attended an iftar at a private hotel in the city where precautionary measures against the deadly virus were not followed. After photos of the party started circulating on social media, the police registered a case against Jhagra, the hotel owner and the manager. The hotel has been sealed for violating government orders as well.
The viral pictures show the minister and multiple people around him not wearing masks. Social distancing was also not followed.
