India has recorded 4,187 deaths due to COVID-19 in the last 24 hours—the highest so far, along with 4,01,078 fresh cases, taking the total number of cases in the country to 2,18,92,676. It is the fourth time after May 1 that India has crossed the four-lakh mark of new cases in 24 hours. On Friday, India recorded 4,14,188 cases.
The probe of recovery of over 500 oxygen concentrators from famous Delhi restaurants has been handed over to the crime branch. This development comes a day after the Delhi Police arrested Gourav Khanna, CEO of Matrix Cellular Services Ltd, in connection with its probe into the seizure of concentrators from popular restaurants in the national capital.
