He also stated that it has been disclosed in the report that a patient named Sangeeta was admitted in the Gynae Department on March 23, 2013, with Dyspnea.

Her condition speedily worsened. Physician directed Ventilator support to her. She was taken to intensive care unit and was placed on Ventilator, afterward Swine Flu was suspected and she was found positive for Swine Flu on March 27.

The patient was then shifted to Swine Flu ward with breathing machine, where she died on March, 30.
