Karnataka: COVID-19 patient commits suicide at Bengaluru Hospital
Bengaluru: A woman who was under treatment for Coronavirus has committed suicide at a hospital under Malleswaram police station limits here in the city.
The woman, who is said to be from Kunigal, was living with her relatives in Rajagopala Nagara limits in the city. She was identified as positive for Corona on June 18 and was admitted to K C General Hospital, Malleswaram.
When her relatives got their throat swabs tested, three of them were also found to be COVID-19 positive. The woman, who was apparently filled with a sense of guilt for infecting her relatives, committed suicide by hanging herself at the Covid treatment ward on Friday morning.
The Malleswaram police have registered a case and are investigating.
City Police Commissioner Bhaskar Rao has said that committing suicide for fear of Corona was not the right thing.
There are many Corona Warriors, including doctors, working with the support of the government to save the lives of the people, the commissioner reminded and requested the people not to take wrong decisions and steps in the matter.

Attacks on Christians contradict PM's message of harmony, visit to church: Gehlot
Jaipur (PTI): Former Rajasthan chief minister Ashok Gehlot on Thursday expressed concern over the reported attacks and disruptions in prayer gatherings of the Christian community in different parts of the country, saying such incidents were "worrying and condemnable".
In a post on X, Gehlot said that while the Prime Minister Narendra Modi was visiting a church and giving a message of peace and harmony, news of attacks on members of the Christian community from various regions reflected a serious contradiction.

"Symbolic gestures would not be enough, and strict legal action was required against those spreading hatred," the senior Congress leader said.
He added that Indian culture has always upheld the spirit of "Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam", where every citizen has full freedom to practise their faith.
Gehlot urged the Centre and state governments to uphold the rule of law and ensure that no citizen is forced to celebrate their festival under fear.
