    According to the police, Sayyad Nadeem had complained of chest pain, stomach pain and breathlessness and was tested positive for COVID-19.

    The accused was arrested on August 12 and was under judicial custody.

    Earlier in the day, accused who have been arrested in connection with violence were taken to DJ Halli Police station for interrogation and medical examination.
