Mumbai, August 7: Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) has informed that 14-day home isolation is a compulsory precaution for all domestic passengers arriving in Mumbai. BMC further informed that government officials desiring an exemption must write to the Corporation two working days prior to arrival.

The corporation allowed Tiwari to be released from quarantine on Friday. Vinay Tiwari was quoted saying, "BMC has informed me, through a text message, that I can go out of quarantine. I'll be leaving for Patna now." Sushant Singh Rajput Death Probe: CBI Files FIR Against Rhea Chakraborty, Her Father, Mother, Brother, Manager Among Others.
