Pakistani actor Fawad Khan booked after his wife refuses anti-polio drops to their minor daughter
Pakistani actor Fawad Khan has been booked after his wife denied to give anti-polio drops to their daughter.
The FIR has been registered after the polio team complaint to the Lahore Police. In the written complaint, the polio team said that they visited the Faisal Town residence of the film star where his wife resisted and the misbehaved with the team.
Pakistani is one of the three countries in the world which still suffers from endemic polio, including Afghanistan and Nigeria.
A virus of polio can also cause death or paralysis.
According to the FIR, Khan's wife refused to get administered polio drops to her minor daughter and also hurled threats and misbehaved with the polio team.
Also, the driver of the actor’s family misbehaved the polio team rudely.
However, Pakistani actor’s wife didn’t give any specific reason for not getting her daughter administered polio drops.
His wife slammed for her behaviour towards the team and also for complete ignorance on her part. ‘This is highly condemnable behaviour of a celebrity family,’ Muhammad Jamil, a district official, said.
However, Fawad is currently in Dubai for the Pakistan Super League (PSL) and was not present at home when all this happened. But, being the head of the family, a case was registered against him.
According to Pakistani law, in addition to fine, a person has to face imprisonment up to two years for failing to administer anti-polio drops to their children.
