Dengue, raging in the national capital, has claimed two more lives taking the toll to seven.
Reports said a 43-year-old man died at Lal Bahadur Shastri hospital while a child lost his life to the vector-borne disease after being turned down by five hospitals.
Five-year-old Aman, who was one of the latest victims was reportedly refused admission by several hospitals as his parents desperately move from one place to the other since September ten. He died on Tuesday.
A 43-year-old man, who also died due to dengue, was reportedly brought to the hospital in critical condition and died a day later.

According to the fresh data released by the Delhi municipal corporation, 613 cases of dengue have been reported in the last one week and a total 1,872 patients have tested positive for the vector borne disease till Sept 12.
