Days after she put out an SOS message on Twitter asking for an ICU bed for herself, Jamia Millia Islamia professor Nabila Sadiq lost her battle to coronavirus at the age of 38.
She had put out a message on May 4, "Any icu bed leads? For myself." Later, she tweeted that she had got an ICU bed.
She is the fifth serving professor from the varsity to have succumbed to the virus in the last one month.
Sadiq had lost her mother Nuzhat to the virus on May 7 and is survived by her 85-year-old father Sadique.
Sadiq was an assistant professor at the Sarojini Naidu Centre for Women's Studies at the varsity.
