Police out-post in charge Manoj Kumar Pandey, told reporters, “On Sunday, she complained to her son about her breathing problem. He, instead of admitting her to some hospital, planned to take her to his married sister’s house in Tad Bagiya area of Chakeri but dumped her on the road nearby and fled. He apparently suspected that she was suffering from Covid.”

The police, on learning of the incident, immediately rushed the woman to Ursula, where she died later.

“We have booked her son under relevant sections of IPC. He is presently absconding but we will arrest him soon,” the police official said.
