Covid Treatment: SC asks UP govt to shift Siddique Kappan

New Delhi: On Wednesday the SC directed the Uttar Pradesh government to shift arrested Kerala journalist Siddique Kappan to a Delhi government hospital for Covid-19 treatment. Earlier, the Yogi Adityanath-led UP government had resisted the Supreme Court’s suggestion to shift Kappan outside the state for treatment, contending that “similarly-placed accused” are getting treated in state hospitals.
