Nagpur man with travel history to Delhi tests positive for coronavirus, city tally now 17
After five days of no new positive case reported in Nagpur, a man, with a travel history to Delhi, tested positive for coronavirus on Saturday. The man, who is a resident of Mominpura, is the 17th person from Nagpur to be tested positive for COVID-19.
The man was among the people who were ordered to be quarantined by Ministry of Home Affairs as he had a travel history to Delhi, where the Tablighi Jamaat meet was organised last month. The man was traced a few days back by NMC, put under quarantine and tested for coronavirus.
As per media sources, NMC swung in action after the man tested positive. Officials reached Mominpura to ask the family members and people who came in contact with the man to quarantine themselves.
Since the man visited Delhi, there was news doing the rounds that the man had attended the Tablighi Jamaat meet held in Delhi last month. However, in a video, which is doing the rounds on the internet, the man has claimed that he is a businessman dealing in Taqiya (skull caps) and had gone to Delhi to buy the same.
However, officials seem to be having a different opinion for some reason. When Nation Next reached out to two government officials, we were told that the man had attended the Nizamuddin meet. Nation Next also tried to get in touch with nodal officer Dr Paturkar from IGGMCH but the calls were not answered.
With the man testing positive for coronavirus, the number of positive patients in the city is now 17. Four of the patients have been discharged and 13 are undergoing treatment.

Nagpur: Married man accused of girlfriend’s rape commits suicide on Facebook live
A 38-year-old married man named Manish alias Raj Yadav, on Sunday, committed suicide during a Facebook live-stream after allegedly being accused of rape by his girlfriend and her family in Nagpur.
During the live stream, Manish, who was married and a father to three children, stated that his 19-year-old girlfriend, Kajal, along with her family members demanded a sum of five lakh rupees and threatened to press charges of rape if he failed to do so.
On September 6, the situation became grave as the woman’s family accused him of eloping after Kajal went missing from her residence.
The deceased refused the claims of having any sexual relationship with the woman and identified her, her family, and a photo studio operator responsible for his condition. He, then, jumped into the river.
After the live video surfaced online, Kalamna Police launched a search operation and recovered the deceased’s body from the river. Four people have been detained in the case for questioning. Further investigation is underway.
