EX- AAP MLA DIES DUE TO COVID-19 COMPLICATIONS

Former AAP MLA Jarnail Singh passed away here on Friday due to Covid-related complications, his family said.

He was 48. Singh was admitted in the Rajiv Gandhi Super Speciality Hospital for the past 12-13 days, his brother Karnail said. “His High-resolution CT (HRCT) of the chest score was 14/25 which was a little above moderate in terms of infection. But then his condition deteriorated,” Karnail said.

Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal and his deputy Manish Sisodia condoled the demise of Jarnail Singh. “Deeply saddened by the untimely demise of former Delhi MLA Sh Jarnail Singh ji. May God bless his soul. He will always be fondly remembered for his contributions to society,” Kejriwal said in a tweet.

Sisodia remembered Singh as someone who fought for justice for the victims of 1984 anti-sikh riots.
