Around 2,000 people in Mumbai who thought they were being vaccinated against COVID-19 were in fact injected with a saline solution, the police said.
The police said today that around 2,000 people were injected with fake COVID-19 vaccines in Mumbai, Maharashtra, and another 500 -- some of them disabled -- might have suffered the same fate in West Bengal's Kolkata. Vaccination rates rose sharply this week after the centre made shots free following a devastating pandemic surge in April and May. The police in Mumbai said that around 2,000 people who thought they were being vaccinated were in fact injected with a saline solution. Ten people have been arrested including two doctors at a private hospital in Mumbai, the police said. Media reports said that the shots were given at nine different locations in the city.
