Kanika Kapoor, who is accused of recklessness and has been booked for negligence, spoke to NDTV in an attempt to cover up her negligence. After being tested positive for coronavirus, Kanika Kapoor spoke to NDTV to blame the government for not providing the adequate testing facilities to get screened after she returned from London.
Kanika Kapoor claimed that she had even contacted the government officials 20 times and waited for two days before getting tested. She also stated that her sister-in-law Sonal Kapoor also had to struggle a lot to get tested despite her being a ‘leading journalist of NDTV’.

Before that, she threw a dinner party that was attended by nearly a hundred people. Vasundhara Raje and her son Dushyant were one of those who attended her dinner party. The BJP MP Singh has now tested negative for the virus.
