The letter asks the hospital in-charge to inform 4 coordinators of the PFI whenever there is a suspected COVID-19 death of a Muslim patient. It mentions that the ‘Task Force Team’ from PFI would facilitate the burial of dead bodies of Muslims. At the same time, it adds that the BMC’s decision shall be final in case of any dispute.

Devendra Fadnavis contended that PFI was allegedly involved in anti-national and anti-social activities. He questioned Maharashtra CM Uddhav Thackeray on whether he agreed with this directive by the BMC.
In an order dated May 15, the BMC had stated that when there is a suspected COVID-19 death or COVID-19 death of a Muslim patient, all hospital in-charge are directed to inform the four co-ordinators from Popular Front of India, in addition to local police station and local Medical Officer of Health (MOH).
