A 31-year-old Delhi Police constable died from coronavirus on Tuesday. It is said to be the first death of a Delhi Police official due to Covid-19.
The lab report confirming his Covid positive status came posthumously. On Tuesday evening, when he was feeling uncomfortable, he was rushed to the Ram Manohar Lohia Hospital where he was declared brought dead, a senior police official said.
Now all police personnel who came in contact with the constable, who belonged to Haryana’s Sonipat, are being tracked to be quarantined. “He is survived by wife and a 3-year-old son,” the official said.
The deceased constable was posted at Northwest Delhi’s Bharat Nagar police station.
