Did actress Rakul Preet Singh violate wildlife rules during her recent visit to Gir National Park in Gujarat? A recent viral video on social media showed Rakul walking near a safari vehicle. Many speculated that the actress may have flouted rules that do not allow humans to walk around in areas inside the forest, which are strictly inhabited by the wildlife. Rakul was at Gir with the&nbsp;Pati Patni Aur Woh Do team.&nbsp;Now, officials at the Gir National Park have issued a clarification on the video and stated that the clip was shot outside the entry point of the Sasan Sanctuary and not inside the restricted sanctuary zone. Officials claimed that no rules were broken and Rakul had not violated any rules.&nbsp;&nbsp;The clarification came after the video led to speculation on social media over whether wildlife rules had been broken, as visitors are not allowed to step out of their vehicles inside protected forest areas. Many also questioned the officials for allowing a celebrity to break the rules so openly.&nbsp;<h2>Gir National Park officials issue a statement</h2>In their statement, the park authorities said, “We clarified that the video is from outside the entry point of the Sasan Sanctuary. Every sanctuary has a designated entry point for visitors entering the protected area. The viral video was shot outside that point.
