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.

Introducing ElectionsHQ + 50 Ground Reports Project
The 2024 elections might seem easy to guess, but there are some important questions that shouldn't be missed.
Do freebies still sway voters? Do people prioritise infrastructure when voting? How will Punjab vote?
The answers to these questions provide great insights into where we, as a country, are headed in the years to come.
Swarajya is starting a project with an aim to do 50 solid ground stories and a smart commentary service on WhatsApp, a one-of-a-kind. We'd love your support during this election season.
