A bank employee recovering from the coronavirus disease (Covid-19) showed up at his office in Jharkhand with oxygen support, claiming he was denied leave by seniors, according to Hindustan Times' sister publication Livehindustan. Arvind Kumar works as a manager at one of the branches of Punjab National Bank's (PNB) in Bokaro. The PNB, however, denied Kumar's allegations and said he staged a drama to defame the bank, Livehindustan reported. The bank said that Kumar's family members shot a video of the incident and posted it on social media. PNB said in a statement that Kumar remained absent from work for two years without authorisation, adding that no employee who contracts Covid-19 is denied leave in his own interest as well as others.
