New Delhi, June 3 CRPF Braveheart and Kirti Chakra awardee Chetan Cheetah tested negative for Covid-19 earlier this week. However, he continues to be on ventilator support and his situation is said to be critical. He has been hospitalised for three weeks now. His family has been mulling over shifting him from AIIMS Jhajjar to AIIMS Delhi. But after CRPF top officials took the case on high priority, Dr. Randeep Guleria personally inquired about his case. Chetan is in Jhajjar AIIMS now under the best medical care. Since he is on ventilator support, doctors have advised against shifting him as he continues to be critical. His oxygen level is at 95. Chetan Cheetah took nine bullets on February 14, 2017, during an encounter in North Kashmir's Bandipora. ECOMMENDED Sources said that the officer was very careful during the Covid-19 pandemic. And was home-bound during the peak in Delhi. However, his teen son had tested positive, and then he was infected. There is anxiety in force as the officer had several complications.
