The city civil and sessions court on Monday rejected the bail application of Dr. Pushpitha who was arrested for stealing vials ofCovishield from the Public Health Centre in Manjunathnagar, where she was posted, and administering the vaccine to various citizens at her friend’s house. She allegedly charged ₹500 for a jab. The prosecution objected to the bail plea stating that Dr. Pushpitha had endangered lives by stealing vaccines.
