Days after a TikTok star claimed through a video that even if he ventures out during the lockdown, cops won't take action against him as he was a celebrity, the Shivaji Nagar police arrested him and his friend on Tuesday. The accused have been identified as 25-year-old Salim Sheikh and Mohammed Fahad, who were seen roaming on the streets without masks and mocking the cops in the video.

In the video that was released from Sheikh's account, he was seen walking on one of the Shivaji Nagar streets and saying, "I was warned by my friend not to venture out, else cops will take action, but I told her, cops don't catch celebrities and I'm a celebrity too." Numerous TikTok users have liked the video. Salim has more than 5 lakh followers on the video app.
