While one of them had tested negative for COVID-19, the reports of others are awaited.

"These patients were in isolation. However, in the night, they left the hospital without informing anyone," police officials said.

The patients were upset over the delay in getting the results and sharing toilets with other Covid-19 positive patients.

In Nagpur, so far, three persons have been tested positive and are in the same hospital.

The issue also figured in the Maharashtra Legislative Assembly with MLAs demanding action against the hospital administration for the alleged lapse.
