Delhi's Lok Nayak Hospital has denied claims of Amarpreet Singh, who claimed on social media that her father who was suffering from COVID-19 was denied admission in the hospital, leading to his death. The hospital has clarified that the girl's father was "brought dead" and claims on social media are misleading and damaging.

"Lok Nayak Hospital’s auto-generated electronic casualty record had registered the patient in question as “Brought Dead” at 7:37 AM. The hospital staff on duty has confirmed that the patient was brought in to the hospital between 7:10 and 7:30 AM. The hospital wishes to clarify that the patient was not refused admission and was examined by doctors upon being brought in," Lok Nayak hospital said in a statement.

Earlier, Delhi-based Amarpreet Singh took to Twitter on Thursday to share a series of events leading to her father's death outside Delhi's Lok Nayak Hospital. She accused the hospital of not admitting her father while he was suffering from COVID-19 and having chronic breathing problems and high fever. The hospital later clarified its stand in a press release stating that the patient was not denied admission, rather he was brought dead.

Amarpreet tweeted at 8:05 am on Thursday that her father, who was suffering from COVID-19 and was having high fever and breathing problems, was not being taken in by LNJP hospital near Delhi Gate. In her tweet, Amarpreet called out for help tagging Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal along with other senior Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) leaders such as Raghav Chadha, Manish Sisodia and Satyendar Jain.

"My dad is having a high fever. We need to shift him to hospital. I am standing outside LNJP Delhi & they are not taking him in. He is having corona, high fever and breathing problem. He won't survive without help. Pls help," Amarpreet tweeted.

One hour and three minutes later, at 9:08 am, she again tweeted -- "He is no more. The govt failed us," as the father succumbed to the illness.

He is no more. The govt failed us. https://t.co/uFJef9JxSA
