Agra, India: The police in Agra, Uttar Pradesh, is currently investigating the staff of a private hospital for spreading the coronavirus to other areas of the city and for not reporting the actual number of confirmed virus patients in the hospital.

According to the police, the management of the private hospital did not reveal the actual number of patients of the virus.

A woman undergoing treatment at the hospital reportedly tested positive for the virus.

The negligence of the hospital resulted in the virus spreading to other areas of the districts.

A local woman that was undergoing treatment at the Paras Hospital in Agra tested positive of the virus after she was referred to a hospital in Mathura.

The district administration declared that the Paras hospital was a hotspot, forcing them to seal it on the intervening evening of April 6 and 7.

The hospital under-reported the actual number of people including patients, the staff of the hospital, and their attendants.

When the local authorities took over, they found out that there were 220 people at the hospital, but the hospital only reported 73.

The acts of the hospital resulted in the spread of COVID-19 to other districts with the movement of the infected attendants and hospital staff.

The police ended up registering cases against the hospital under the Indian Penal Codes 188, 269, 270 and 271.
