Kolkata, Sep 4 (SocialNews.XYZ) In a case showcasing the apathy of a section of population towards patients suffering from coronavirus and their kin, a man who had self-quarantined after his mother tested positive was locked in his apartment by one of his neighbours in Kestopur.

It took police intervention on Friday to get him out of the locked apartment.

The incident took place at Ghoshpara's Chitrakut Dham Apartment this morning when Sajal Kanti Das, a law clerk by profession, found that the main gate of his flat was locked from outside. He called up the security guard of the complex and office-bearers of the housing complex via Whatsapp. However, no one came to the family's rescue.
