KURUKSHETRA: It has been two days since a man, who tested positive for Covid-19 in Kurukshetra district, has gone missing from the local address he had given. The police say the mobile number given by him suggests that he is actually from Bulandshahr district in Uttar Pradesh.
Civil surgeon Dr Sukhbir Singh said, “A 26-year-old man had come from UP to Kurukshetra recently and his sample was sent for Covid-19 test on Sunday. His report showed him positive on Monday. He had given his address as Ravidas Mohalla in Thanesar city, which was found to be incorrect. The mobile number that he provided is also not reachable.”
He said they have written to the Kurukshetra superintendent of police (SP) to trace the patient, who vanished after giving his sample for testing.
Kurukshetra SP Astha Modi said, “We are working to find him. The address he provided was found to be incorrect and his mobile number is also not reachable. We have received a written representation from the Kurukshetra CMO.”
