The novel coronavirus threat in India has been worrisome lately. The coronavirus threat killed a man in Chittoor-district of Andhra-Pradesh. He died not because of the coronavirus but a grave misread reading. The 54-year-old Chittoor man killed himself after he thought he had coronavirus infection but so was not the case as he mistook his symptoms for those of coronavirus, according to The News-Minute-report.

Telugu Desam Party leader Jayadev Galla, detained by police in Andhra Pradesh's Amaravati on Monday, during a rally to oppose the government's three-capital proposal, was today arrested, charged with non-bailable cases and jailed till January 31.
