Bengaluru, Jun 29: A 99-year-old woman has successfully recovered from coronavirus in Bengaluru, leaving the medical fraternity and her family elated.
The woman had contracted the pathogen after coming in contact with her grandson and was hospitalised on her 99th birthday on June 18.
The woman was taken to the government Victoria Hospital along with her 70-year-old son, daughter-in-law and grandson.
"While we three developed symptoms like cold, cough and fever, my mother remained asymptomatic," the woman's son said.
The family members are still wondering how they got infected by the virus as all except the woman's grandson, were confined to their home most of the time.
Her 29-year-old grandson was the only one who went out to buy groceries.
Initially, the family approached a private hospital nearby for treatment, but they refused to accept COVID-19 patients.
Left with no option, the family got admitted to the Victoria hospital.
"We had reservations about Victoria hospital, but it turned out be a good one.
We did not spend a penny since the day we were admitted and my mother and son fully recovered," the woman's son said.
According to Dr Asima Banu, nodal officer of the Trauma Care Centre at the Victoria hospital, the woman was reluctant to get treatment at the hospital.
"With moral support from doctors and nurses at the Trauma Care Centre, she recovered very fast. She is always positive in life," the doctor said.
Bengaluru, Feb 21: Historian Ramachandra Guha on Thursday refuted Karnataka home minister Basavaraj Bommai's claim that the latter had apologised for police allegedly manhandling him during an anti-CAA protest in the city, saying he received no such call or apology.
The writer further said even if such an apology had been offered, he would have rejected it.
"The Home Minister of Karnataka has claimed on the floor of the State Assembly that he apologised to me by phone for the manhandling by the Bengaluru police on 19th December 2019. This is false.
I received no such call or apology," Guha tweeted.
"Even if such an apology had been offered, I would have rejected it.
The imposition of Section 144 was illegal (as the Karnataka High Court has since held) and I was proud to be one of thousands of peaceful protesters who defied the States arbitrary action on that day," he said in another tweet.
During his reply to the debate on law and order situation in the state, Bommai on Wednesday claimed that he had apologised to Guha.
The minister was apologising to senior Congress MLA and former Speaker K R Ramesh Kumar for police serving him notice and detaining him along with others at Mangaluru airport in December for trying to enter the city despite restrictions following violence there.
Stating that anti-CAA protests have taken place peacefully across the state, he had said, there might have been minor discrepancies, like that with historian Ramachandra Guha, being manhandled during a protest.
"I have called and apologised to him," he had said.
Guha was detained on December 19 for staging a demonstration against the Citizenship Amendment Act and National Register of Citizens at the Town Hall here, in defiance of the prohibitory orders imposed in the city.
He was taken away by police personnel and led to a police vehicle parked nearby.
Leader of Opposition in the assembly and former chief minister Siddaramaiah said Bommai has committed a "perjury" in the House, and asked him to apologise to people and Guha in front of media.
"Bommai has committed a perjury on the floor of the House. It answers the question of where @BJP4India workers derive their motivation to spread fake news.
Bommai has insulted the people whom he represents," he tweeted and demanded that he apologize to people and Guha.
