A councillor of a thickly populated ward in Bangalore who tested positive for the coronavirus has been booked for violating the Covid-19 protocol. Imran Pasha, a popular councillor of the Janata Dal Secular who represents Padarayanapura in the city, tested positive on Friday, but refused to go into isolation until he saw his test report. High drama had played out in Padarayanapura, a containment zone where 65 cases have been reported so far, when health authorities clad in PPE suits visited his home on Saturday morning. When the health authorities insisted on isolating him, Pasha came out of his home wearing protective gear. While the containment has been eased in Padarayanapura, the 100-metre radius around the street where Pasha lives continues to be in containment.
