HYDERABAD: An assistant sub-inspector succumb to Covid-19 on Friday night after undergoing treatment for five days. The officer had tested negative on four occasions last month. The 55-year-old ASI did not know he was suffering from Covid-19 as the test results were declared after his death.
The officer had undergone tests in the past as some of his colleagues had tested positive. However, the results returned negative every time. Five days back, the ASI got admitted after feeling breathlessness and symptoms of Covid-19. He was tested upon admission but tested negative once again. “Few hours before his death, his sample was taken once again and the fifth sample returned positive,’’ an officer said.
The ASI is known to be an expert in dealing with cases of suspicious death and is said to have gone to the mortuary number of times since the outbreak of coronavirus in the city.
