"My wife has contracted COVID-19. She has been placed under home quarantine. My brother-in-law who was also suffering from COVID-19 died on Saturday," he told PTI.
The 69-year-old leader, who suffers from age-related ailments, however, tested negative for the disease.

She may have to undergo a second test for the disease in a couple of days, Pande added.
