A man quarantined at the Lok Nayak Jaiprakash (LNJP) Hospital in New Delhi allegedly jumped from a building to escape, fracturing his legs in the process, police said on Sunday (5 April).
Sharafat Ali, aged 37, is a resident of one of the Delhi Development Authority (DDA) flats on Mata Sundari Road under the IP police station.
Delhi Police Central District DCP Sanjay Bhatia said that Ali was admitted to the central Delhi hospital on 31 March on suspicion that he had contracted coronavirus.
Around 11:30pm on Saturday, he fell from the third floor of a hospital building under mysterious circumstances and broke both his legs. His corona test reports are yet to come in.
Doctors treating him said that he was stable.
The police officer said Ali was not connected to the Tablighi Jamaat.
