Lucknow: Mulayam Singh Yadav’s wife in hospital, corona test result awaited

LUCKNOW: Sadhna Gupta, the wife of Samajwadi Party patriarch Mulayam Singh Yadav, was admitted to Medanta Medicity hospital after complaining of difficulty in breathing on Sunday.
“She was brought to the hospital at around noon. She complained of difficulty in breathing. Upon examination, it was found that her blood pressure was quite high. We have sent her sample for Covid-19 testing,” said director, Dr Rakesh Kapoor.
Dr Kapoor said that she had come to hospital a week ago with a similar problem.“Her blood pressure was high at that time too. So she advised medication and sent home,” he said, adding that the Covid report was expected post-midnight.
“If found positive,” said a member of the district surveillance team, “the tracing and testing drill of the patient’s contacts will be undertaken as per the protocol.” Health officials believe that there was a good chance of people living on Vikramaditya Marg contracting the pandemic infection as several cases have been found there.
“The residence of the Yadavs is about 500 meters from the government bungalow of UP minister Moti Singh, who tested positive alongwith six relatives last week,” said a medical officer.
