A Mumbai-based social worker was fined Rs 1 lakh for roughing up doctors and abusing nurses after his relative died of COVID-19. The Bombay high court directed him to deposit the amount to the chief minister’s fund of corona care as a condition for pre-arrest bail.

According to a report in Times of India, the high court said that the sorrow of COVID-19 victim’s family members can well be understood but it cannot be forgotten that medicos have acted “selflessly” as corona warrior through the pandemic. The accused has been granted relief in a case registered by the Baramati police station.
