Controversy opens a can of worms in which son of retired bureaucrat duped hundreds
The controversy over the operation of fake “vaccine centres” in Kolkata has opened a can of worms with officials suggesting that hundreds of people were administered with Amikacin, a readily available antibiotic used to treat bacterial infections, instead of COVID-19 vaccines. Other than a fake centre at Kasba, which was busted after Trinamool Congress MP Mimi Chakraborty raised an alarm earlier this week, two other centres have surfaced, where the accused Debanjan Deb vaccinated hundreds of people in the past weeks. The other fake centres were located at City College in north Kolkata and Sonarpur in South 24 Parganas.
