No, not at all. Polio was eradicated long back in India. Please make sure the history is proper.

No problem, it is not contagious as the person is suffering from neuroparalytic polio, non-contagious, moreover polio has been eradicated from India.

Polio affected person had got active virus long time ago ie before the paralysis so that person is not in infective stage so cannot spread polio to others.
