Staff Reporter:<\/strong> A health worker from West Bengal’s South 24 Parganas district was arrested on Saturday on suspicions of running illegal Covid-19 vaccination camps in the state, according to a police officer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The arrest came a month after a person was arrested for allegedly faking an IAS officer and organising a vaccination camp in Kolkata’s Kasba area, where actor and Trinamool Congress MP Mimi Chakraborty also had her vaccination.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ms Chakraborty, who was invited to the camp, said she became suspicious about the vaccination process after not getting the standard SMS issued to everyone after they are given a shot, and she notified the police.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Those who were vaccinated at the arrested man’s Sonarpur camps allegedly did not receive any text messages or certificates and alerted the police to the authorities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The culprit was arrested on Saturday at a house in Sonarpur’s Rupnagar area where he was organising another camp, according to the officer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The police found that he charged \u20b9 300-400 from individuals for vaccinating them and he has inoculated at least 40 to 50 people so far.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to preliminary investigations, the arrested guy worked as a vaccination coordinator at a health sub-centre in Masat, Bankura district, and at a primary healthcare centre in Diamond Harbour, South 24 Parganas district.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“He quit his job (at Masat) and went to Sonarpur to work as a coordinator,” the police officer said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He is suspected of stealing Covid-19 vaccine vials and using them to inoculate others while working there,” he claimed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A few of the accused’s vials were seized and sent for chemical test to ensure whether or not the vaccines were genuine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another person who has been supporting the accused in organising the camps is being sought by the authorities.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
