Many felt that the BMC should reveal the name of the actor in their post itself instead of blurring out all identifying details. Numerous others shared the tweet in order to raise awareness about the incident and urged more people to follow the COVID 19 safety precautions.
Just in case if you don't know - There are thousands of people flouting covid norms at various lounges, bars, pubs, clubs, restaurants, etc. You should keep your eye there too. They're all super spreaders as they don't wear masks and no social distancing too. Huge crowd there.
