Mosquitoes, Dust, No Food! Kanika Is Being 'Ill-Treated' At Hospital, Feels Like She¡¯s In Jail

Since the time, Kanika Kapoor has tested positive for coronavirus, she has become a target of trolls. People are demanding her arrest. Meanwhile, two FIRS -- in Bihar and in UP -- has been registered against her for negligence. Celebrities are calling her idiot for her irresponsible behaviour.

In her defense, Kanika Kapoor says she is being treated like a criminal.

"There are these silly rumours that I hid in the washroom to skip screening. Tell me, how is it possible for a person to skip screening at immigration while coming on an international flight? I was properly screened at the Mumbai airport and I stayed in the city for a day," she told The Times Of India in an interview.

She says there was no work so she travelled back home to Lucknow where her parents live.

¡°At that time there was no advisory issued by the government on anyone travelling from abroad to be under self-quarantine. So how can one expect me to do it, especially when I had been screened and had no health issues till I left Mumbai? In fact, I developed the symptoms only four days ago.¡±

She is not happy with the treatment she is getting. Complaining about the hospital condition, she said, "I've been here since 11 am and all I've been given is a small bottle of water to drink. I've been asking these people to give me something to eat but I've only been given two small bananas and an orange that had flies on it.¡±

¡°I am so hungry, I haven't even taken the medicine that I was supposed to till now. I have fever, I've informed them, but no one has attended to me. The food I brought with me has been taken away. I can't even eat anything that's given to me as I am allergic to some foods. I am hungry, thirsty and I feel miserable here."

Kanika says the room she is staying in is quite dirty.

"It has mosquitoes and is full of dust. I am being ill-treated here and it feels like I¡¯m in jail. They are behaving as if I am a criminal for no fault of mine."

Meanwhile, UP Health Minister Jai Pratap Singh and 28 others who came in contact with Kanika Kapoor in Lucknow have tested negative for coronavirus. On Thursday, Singh was in Greater Noida to address a press conference to talk about the BJP-led state government's achievements over the past three years.

Three MLAs -- Pankaj Singh, Dhirendra Singh and Tejpal Nagar -- some administration officials and several journalists who were present at the press conference also went into self-isolation after it became known that the minister had come in contact with Kapoor.
