Kolkata "Fake" Vaccine Drive Accused May Be Charged With Attempt To Murder

Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee has reportedly instructed the commissioner of Kolkata police to add the attempt to murder case.

The alleged vaccine fraudster in Kolkata who held at least three vaccination camps may now be charged with attempt to murder. The Kolkata Police will appeal to court today to add Section 307 to the list of charges. The police say that instead of the Covid vaccine, Debanjan Deb gave people shots of the anti-biotic Amikacin without checking if they were allergic to any particular antibiotic, which could have turned fatal for them. Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee herself is believed to have instructed the commissioner of Kolkata police to add the attempt to murder case. She has also reportedly told him that no one associated with the fraud should be spared. The BJP has accused the Trinamool of being involved in the scam.
