The Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike (BBMP) received flak on social media for installing metal sheets outside the doors of two flats in an apartment complex in Bengaluru that were later removed after its pictures went viral.  According to the Indian Express, the flats were sealed after a house help in one of the flats was tested positive for coronavirus.

The incident came to light after another resident in the apartment complex posted pictures of the sealed flats on Twitter.
