On Wednesday morning, a friend of Mustafa’s son who was also quarantined in Sultanpur telephoned the family members to informed them that Mustafa fell unconscious and was being rushed to a hospital in an ambulance. Hours later, the family was informed that Mustafa died without responding to treatment.

Mustafa was a diabetic. “His wife told me that Mustafa and others are not being given proper food and medical attention,’’ he said, demanding that the Tamil Nadu government representatives should pay attention to the complaints of the quarantined people there.
