A Vile Parle resident, Neel Pandya, 35, and his fiancee were spending a majority of last week shopping for their wedding later this month when the latter began feeling unwell. On March 25, the couple got tested and his fiancee’s tests returned positive on March 27. Three days later, Neel received an eviction notice from his landlord, asking him to vacate the flat within two months.

“Even as I received a call from the BMC on March 27 about my fiancee testing positive, another BMC official was putting up a notice about the case at the building’s gate. While I dealt with the fact of her testing positive, the watchman came to my house and told me that one of the senior residents in the building had asked me to call them.”
