"It's true that my father went to Haridwar to take part in the Kumbh Mela". The publication also reports that Rathod's wife Vimladevi had also accompanied him.
"After returning from Haridwar, my father was facing difficulty breathing and he had also become very weak. We got him admitted to SL Raheja Hospital in Mumbai, wherein he was tested for coronavirus. His results came positive. Gradually, other organs also started failing, resulting in his death".Sanjeev Rathod to ABP
