The woman identified as Niharika, while her father-in-law's name is Thuleshwar Das. Thuleshwar Das is 75 years old. Niharika's husband Suraj stays away from home for work. So, Niharika takes care of her father-in-law in her husband's absence. They are residents of Raha, Bhatigaon. Realizing that Thuleshwar Das had contracted covid, Niharika decided to take him on her back to the hospital for treatment without thinking much. Niharika has also tested covid positive.

When Niharika arrived at the hospital with her father-in-law, local health officials asked Thuleshwar Das to get admitted to the District Covid Center and advised Niharika to stay in home isolation.
