A coronavirus suspected patient escaped from Delhi's Ram Manohar Lohia (RML) Hospital on Thursday and managed to reach Connaught Place, later the hospital staff traced him and brought him back to the hospital.

When the hospital guard and staff reached Connaught Place, the patient resisted to go back and started creating a ruckus.
