Covid positive man kicks out father for isolating himself in Ahmedabad

AHMEDABAD: When his son tested positive for the dreaded coronavirus, 72-year-old Narendra Soni decided to isolate himself in a separate room lest he gets infected, too. However, this upset his son and daughter-in-law who threatened him and threw him out of the house at night.
The Maninagar resident filed a complaint with the Khokhra police in this regard.
Soni told police that he had been staying with his son Manish and daughter-in-law Purvi. “On April 2, Manish tested positive for corona. Being a senior citizen, I decided to quarantine myself and began living in a separate room to avoid getting infected,” he said.
The complaint stated, “At night, Manish and Purvi came to him and asked him to go to his daughter Reena’s house. Reena was married and stayed with her husband. When Soni refused to do so, Manish abused him. The couple attacked him and threw him out of the house. They threatened to kill him if he ever came back.” He lodged a complaint against the two on Wednesday.
