The panel has alleged that the two died as they had diabetes and were not provided proper food on time. In a letter to Lt Governor Anil Baijal and Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal, Commission chairman wrote that the quarantine facility did not have proper conditions and lacked cooperation from doctors and staff members.
