Sirsi, Apr 23: Union Minister of State Anant kumar Hegde has claimed that he has been receiving death threats from strange callers.

A complaint has been filed by the minister's personal assistant Suresh Shetty as per the minister's direction at the New Market police station here on Sunday.

According to the complainant the internet call was made to the minister's mobile phone at around 2 am on Sunday. Since the minister did not receive the call, another call was made to the landline number of the minister's house from a different number.

When the minister's wife Roopa received the call, the caller disconnected, only to make the call again.

This time, when Hegde himself received the call, the voice on the other side asked whether it was the minister. Hegde replied in the affirmative.

"What do you think of yourself? Are you a big leader? We will cut off your head and severe your body into pieces," the caller said, read the complaint filed by Shetty.

Bengaluru, Mar 10: With concerns growing by the day, the Karnataka government is readying three more labs to test throat swab samples.

Currently, only two labs in Bengaluru — National Institute of Virology and Virus Research and Diagnostics Laboratory (VRDL) lab attached to Bangalore Medical College and Research Institute — are categorised biosafety level 2+, a requirement for coronavirus tests.

Now, the government is working on upgrading three more labs, one each in the government medical colleges at Hassan, Mysuru and Shivamogga. “The labs will be ready within one week,” the authorities said.

Currently, the labs are testing only throat swab samples of suspected patients and taking 24 hours to give the results. “A patient’s blood sample will be collected only if he or she tests positive for covid-19 infection in the first throat swab sample.

While earlier the state would send all samples of suspected coronavirus cases to NIV, Pune, the two labs were upgraded to biosafety level 2+ in mid-February.
