The security guard, who was arrested last week for allegedly attempting to rape a 35-year-old patient at a private COVID hospital in Pathanwadi, Malad East, has tested positive for the novel coronavirus.

The Kurar police, who had arrested 21-year-old Suraj Kochewad on Thursday after the patient pressed the Emergency bell button alerting the hospital staff, got him tested as per the protocol. His report came back positive for novel Coronavirus on Saturday.
