Gujarat: Folk singer Geeta Rabari, farm owner booked for hosting ‘lok dayro’

RAJKOT: Of late, popular Gujarati folk singer Geeta Rabari has been in the news for all the wrong reasons.
Kutch’s Paddhar police booked Rabari for performing during a ‘lok dayro’ on Tuesday night.
The event was attended by over 250 people in violation of the Covid-19 guidelines.
Sanjay Thakkar, owner of the farm house where the event was held, was also arrested for organizing the ‘lok dayro’.
Thakkar during questioning told the police he had invited Rabari to sing folk songs at the event.
Organizing ‘lok dayro’ on the occasion of the first harvest of ‘kharek’ or date palm plantation is an age-old tradition of the Kutch region.
Thakkar too was celebrating the first harvest of his date farm, cops said.
The incident came to light after a video of the event, in which a large crowd was seen in attendance, went viral on social media.
After probing the matter, assistant sub-Inspector Mukesh Dangi lodged a complaint against Thakkar and Rabari under various sections of Epidemic Diseases Act.
Earlier this month, Rabari had courted controversy by tweeting photos of taking Covid-19 vaccine at her home.
The post had invited a lot of criticism from the online community.
