Amir Khan appears to have broken Greater Manchester’s lockdown rules by hosting a family celebration in his back garden.
The dad of three, 33, posted a slew of snaps to his Instagram page of what looks to be a gathering at his £1.3 million Bolton home.
Wearing traditional Pathani suits, three adults and three kids were photographed to mark the celebrations.
“Eid Mubarak everyone!” boxing ace Amir wrote, “Spending Eid at home with family.”
Mirror Online has contacted Amir’s reps for comment.
He also posted a snap of him with wife Faryal Makhdoom, and their kids Lamaisah, five, Alayna, one and four-month-old Muhammad Zaviyar, who they welcomed in March.
“Eid with my angels and queen,” wrote the proud husband and father.
A localised Greater Manchester lockdown was imposed by the government on Friday.
Guidance published stated that it would be against the law in the area for people from different households to meet in a private home or garden, unless they are part of a support bubble.
It warned of £100 fines for those flouting the rules.
The restrictions scuppered plans of many Muslim families planning to come together to celebrate Eid.
As he outlined the new guidelines, Health Secretary Matt Hancock acknowledged that Eid celebrations would be impacted.
He said: “My heart goes out to the Muslim communuity.
“I know that this will have a particular impact on Eid celebrations.
“We’ve been working with imams and religious leaders to ensure that Eid celebrations can go ahead in a COVID-secure way in mosques and there are some really innovative proposals to celebrate in parks where social distancing is easier and there’s more space.
“But it does mean, for everybody, meetings won’t be possible and of course that has a particular impact when there’s a celebration like Eid coming up for the Muslim community.”
Good Morning Britain’s Adil Ray compared the move to cancelling Christmas.
