7 cops among 10 home quarantined in Ludhiana after thief tests positive for COVID-19
Ludhiana: Seven Punjab Police personnel and a judge were among the 10 people quarantined at home after an alleged thief tested positive for COVID-19 here, police said on Friday.
A second man caught by police at Focal Point on Monday managed to escape custody.
Residents of the area nabbed the two alleged snatchers and handed them to the police, said Assistant Commissioner of Police Vhaibh Sehgal. They were later produced before a court of judge Monika Singh.
Alarm bells rang because the two men were coughing continuously, prompting the court to order their medical check. During the medical examination, one of them escaped while the other tested positive. The police team that took their statement and conducted the initial investigation went into home quarantine as did the judge. Two civilians are also among the 10 quarantined. Sehgal said a hunt is on for the man who is absconding.
Punjab has 130 COVID-19 cases and 11 fatalities.

Trump says he ‘hasn’t even thought about’ continuing Iran ceasefire
Washington: US President Donald Trump has said he has not yet considered whether he would continue the ceasefire involving Iran, while also claiming the United States holds the advantage in negotiations.
Speaking to reporters, Trump said he was prepared to make a deal with “whoever is running the show” in Iran.
“They are fighting with each other, there’s tremendous infighting. They’re probably fighting for leadership in many cases. I think they’re fighting not to be leader because we knocked out two levels of leaders,” he said.
Trump added, “When they want they can call me. We have all the cards, we’ve won everything.”
Referring to ongoing negotiations, he said, “They gave us a paper that should’ve been better. And, interestingly, immediately when I cancelled it [envoy trip to Pakistan], within 10 minutes we got a new paper that was much better.”
“We talked about they will not have a nuclear weapon, very simple … They offered a lot, but not enough,” he added.
When asked whether he would continue the ceasefire, Trump replied, “I haven’t even thought about it.”
The remarks come as uncertainty remains over the future of the temporary truce and broader negotiations between Washington and Tehran.
