Confronting 'Social Boycott', Himachal Man Hangs Self Day After Testing Negative for Coronavirus

Mohammad Dilshad ended it all under a shed at his living arrangement in Una's Bangarh town, a day after wellbeing authorities dropped him at his town following his negative report, an authority said. 



A 37-year-elderly person balanced self to death in Himachal Pradesh's Una locale on Sunday morning after purportedly confronting "social blacklist" by certain townspeople, who speculated him to be experiencing COVID-19 in spite of testing antagonistic for it. 

Mohammad Dilshad ended it all under a shed at his habitation in Una's Bangarh town, a day after wellbeing authorities dropped him at his town following his negative report, an authority said. 

He was taken to an isolate office a couple of days prior where he tried negative for the malady. 

Una Sadar SHO Darshan Singh said Dilshad was one of the contacts of a Tablighi Jamaat part who had come back from New Delhi's Nizamuddin. 

Remarking on it, DGP Sita Ram Mardi stated, "A few townspeople brought up that this man was a suspected COVID-19 patient. He was isolated and tried negative for the disease. At the point when he came back to his town, he was victimized and socially boycotted by residents. At this, he ended it all." 

Be that as it may, the SHO revealed to PTI that the issue was being explored whether he was oppressed or socially boycotted by townspeople. 

"I have sent an ASI on the spot. Up until this point, no issue of social blacklist or segregation has gone to the fore. I will have the option to say anything in insight about this at around 5 pm after the ASI's arrival," He included. 

In the interim, the DGP encouraged individuals to keep up social removing (to check the spread of COVID-19), which "doesn't mean social segregation".
