Journalist Tarun Sisodia was COVID-19 positive and was admitted to AIIMS Trauma Center on 24 June. Tarun was admitted on the first floor but he died after falling from the fourth floor. Questions are arising that if Tarun broke the glass by going to the fourth floor and committed suicide then why the security guards or the hospital staff could not stop him.

Tarun's family is accusing the AIIMS administration of negligence and accusing them of not providing information regularly about Tarun's health. In this case, some screenshots are viral on social media. It is being claimed that the screenshots are of journalist Tarun Sisodia, in which he is anticipating his killing.
