According to reports, a man who tested positive for Covid-19 stood outside the Karnataka CM’s house, screaming about his struggles with finding a hospital bed
A man in Bengaluru allegedly created a ruckus outside the official residence of the Chief Minister of Karnataka, B S Yediyurappa.
The man, who remains unidentified as of now, reportedly tested positive for coronavirus but could not find a hospital bed for himself.
Accompanied by his wife and two children, he stood outside the CM’s house and screamed. "I am feeling sick. My son has a fever. I was told I am positive. I am not getting a bed,” he allegedly shouted.
However, an aide to the Chief Minister denies these allegations and claims that the man directly showed up outside the CM residence instead of visiting a hospital first.
An ambulance then took the man to a hospital.
Bengaluru is under a lockdown till July 22nd, owing to the sudden and unanticipated rise in Covid-19 cases across the city.
