Kolkata/IBNS: An Assistant Sub-Inspector (ASI) of the Central Industrial Security Force (CISF), Jharu Burman who was posted at Garden Reach Shipbuilders and Engineers Limited (GRSEL) here, succumbed to Covid-19 on Monday, reports said on Tuesday.

According to reports, after falling sick, the ASI was admitted to a city hospital last week and he was diagnosed with novel coronavirus.
