Former INLD MLA from Nilokheri Mamu Ram Gonder (70) on Tuesday died reportedly due to post Covid infection in a private hospital in Panchkula.

He was tested Covid positive and after 21 days his report had come negative four-days back.

His last rites will be performed on Wednesday in his native village Gonder.

He remained MLA between 2009 and 2014 and had joined the BJP days before 2019 Assembly elections.

Son Sonu Gonder said his father was admitted to KCGMC after shortness of breath on September 2 and his first report came as negative on September 4. After his health deteriorated, the family members shifted him to Fortis hospital, Mohali, where he tested positive for Covid.

He was later shifted to another private hospital. Gonder’s report came as negative four days back. Sonu Gonder maintained that doctors told them that Covid has damaged his father’s lungs that led to his death.
