Four held for fraudulent COVID-19 vaccination camp at Mumbai housing society

The members had also expressed fears that the vaccine administered could be spurious.

Mumbai police have arrested four persons for allegedly duping a housing society in suburban Kandivali by organising a vaccination camp fraudulently in the name of a private hospital, an official said on Friday. In a complaint submitted to the police, the Hiranandani Heritage Residents Welfare Association (HHRWA) had said that a vaccination camp was arranged by the residential complex on May 30. But later it found that the Co-WIN portal did not have any record of the people who participated and they received certificates in the name of different hospitals. The members had also expressed fears that the vaccine administered could be spurious. “Police have arrested four persons, who were involved in organising the vaccination camp at the housing society. Besides them, one more person, who had procured vaccines for the camp has been detained at a railway station in Madhya Pradesh and a team of Mumbai police bringing him to the city,” Additional Commisioner of Police (North) Dilip Sawant said.
