Three of 180 wedding guests, who had attended a wedding in Jaipur, tested positive for coronavirus after they returned to Palghar. All three people are councillors from Palghar Nagar Parishad.
Nearly 180 people had travelled to Jaipur in Rajasthan to attend a high-profile wedding of a builder's son.
They stayed in Jaipur on March 8 and March 9, and flew back to Mumbai on March 10 on a private chartered plane.
Earlier, all 180 people were tested for coronavirus at Mumbai airport. However, their reports came out to be negative.
The three councillors developed symptoms of Covid-19 after they reached Palghar from Mumbai, following which they got themselves tested again. They tested positive and were then moved to a quarantine centre.
On March 13, the Palghar administration had decided to get all the other guests tested for Covid-19.
Kiran Mahajan, resident deputy collector, Palghar, said, "We issued the order to ask the groom's parents to get tested for Covid-19. We don't want to take any risk."
A notice was sent to all of them, but the lawyer of Kirti Bafna, the groom's father, refused to do it citing the rules.
"On arrival at the Mumbai airport, all our guests got tested for Covid-19 and their reports came back negative. We don't have to get tested again," Bafna's advocate Sudhir Hari Gupta said in his response to Shinde's notice.
"We didn't invite a few people to the wedding, and now someone is taking revenge through this notice," Gupta added.
Photographs of Palghar tehsildar Sunil Shinde hosting a dinner at his home on March 11 had also gone viral.
A complaint has been filed against Shinde at the Palghar administration.
On March 10, the district administration had banned fairs, folk dances and festivals at religious places till the month-end.
