A visibly shattered Mr. Shankar told media on Sunday that his mother had succumbed to COVID-19 at the Deen Dayal Hospital on Friday. He alleged that since then, the hospital staff were dilly-dallying on the matter. They warned him not to visit as it was a COVID facility and would rudely turn him down whenever he approached the hospital authorities, according to Mr. Shankar.
