Lucknow, October 7: Hathras Police have registered a case against Delhi AAP MLA Kuldeep Kumar under Epidemic Act. The Superintendent of Police mentioned that on September 29 Kumar had tested positive for coronavirus and on October 4, he posted videos of his visit to Hathras.

Reacting to this, Delhi BJP president Adesh Gupta slammed AAP for playing "dirty politics". He was quoted saying, "Aam Aadmi Party can stoop down to any level for its political interest and corona-infected Delhi MLA Kuldeep Kumar's political sojourn in Hathras is proof of their dirty politics."

Gupta also asked Arvind Kejriwal to take action against party leader Kuldeep Kumar for "irresponsible behaviour" as he visited the victim's family five days after he said he tested positive for coronavirus.
