Bengaluru: Karnataka Congress leader Dinesh Gundu Rao has denied media reports suggesting that his daughter Ameera Rao had tested positive for coronavirus (COVID-19).
“A rumour has been spread on TV channels & social media that my daughter Ameera Rao, who returned from London on 16th March has tested positive for COVID-19. This is false and even if it was true there was no shame in admitting it. Media should be responsible and not misinform,” Dinesh Gundu Rao said in a tweet.
Meanwhile, Rao’s wife Tabu Rao too took to Facebook and posted: “As responsible parents, we have quarantined our daughter 10 days ago at the advise of our doctors and just because the stamp is outside our house, it’s not a media sensation. It means we are responsible parents and it’s a responsible government.”
There have been 55 cases of coronavirus in Karnataka. Among them, four patients have a travel history of returning from London.
