TMC leader cum actress Mimi Chakraborty complaint against a man named Debanjan Dev for a fake Covid-19 vaccination drive in Kolkata. The MP filed the complaint saying the man posed as an IAS officer and requested the actor-turned-politician to be present at a Covid-19 vaccination drive organised by him.
Mimi Chakraborty further informed that she had attended the drive and even got herself vaccinated there to encourage people to take the Covid-19 vaccinations to contain the spread of the virus. In an interview with PTI, the actress further said, “He said that he was running a special drive for transgenders and specially-abled persons and requested for my presence. I took the Covishield vaccine at the camp to motivate people for taking jabs. But I never received a confirmation message from Cowin,” The man was using a car with a blue beacon and fake sticker, she added.
Kolkata police identified and arrested the accused person. They further informed Dev had set up the free inoculation camp introducing himself as a joint municipal commissioner of the Kolkata Municipal Corporation (KMC). Kolkata police further informed that “We haven’t come across any vial having an expiry date. Seized vials will be sent for testing to find out if they are genuine or not. Accused will be interrogated in this regard,”
The case regarding the alleged fake Covid vaccination drive has been transferred to the Kolkata Police Detective Department. The police impounded a four-wheeler from the possession of the accused.
