Bengal BJP chief Dilip Ghosh has tested positive for coronavirus and has been admitted to a private hospital in Kolkata.
Bengal health department sources told PTI that Dilip Ghosh has mild fever and has been admitted to the high dependency unit (HDU) of the hospital.
“He is having 102-degree fever and undergoing treatment. He is being treated for the disease. His oxygen saturation level is fine. There is nothing to worry about,” a senior doctor at the hospital said.
The Medinipur MP had been keeping unwell for the last couple of days following which he took the Covid-19 test.
Dilip Ghosh was recently booked by Bengal Police over his involvement in BJP’s mega rally in Kolkata to protest against the Mamata Banerjee government. Thousands of BJP supporters took part in the massive protest march towards Nabanna and engaged in scuffle with the police.
BJP leaders Kailash Vijayvargiya, Mukul Roy, Dilip Ghosh, Arvind Mennon and MPs Arjun Singh and Locket Chatterjee were all booked for rioting and violating the Epidemic Diseases Act.
The BJP leaders, including Dilip Ghosh, were charged with unlawful assembly, rioting, destruction of public property, criminal obstruction, assault on government servant and violating the Disaster Management Act.
