The man was working for Sharma who died on Friday and his last rites were performed on Saturday. However, this man's report testing positive came on Sunday which sent shock waves amongst political leaders who were present at Sharma's funeral in large number.
Eventually, on Sunday night, Poonia got himself tested for COVID-19 and tested negative. The COVID-19 patient was seen meeting many senior leaders including Poonia and Sanganer MLA Ashok Lahoti when they had come to attend the last rites of Sharma.
