Kolkata: The Kolkata Police on Wednesday claimed to have arrested a man allegedly posing as an IAS officer and organising a fake COVID-19 vaccination camp in the city's Kasba area. Actor and Trinamool Congress MP Mimi Chakraborty had got the first dose of the Covishield vaccine at the camp among several others. However, she did not receive the customary SMS that is sent to people after they are administered a dose, and this aroused suspicion in her mind. "I had got an invite to the camp, where I was told members of the third gender will also be inoculated. When I did not receive the message after my vaccination, I immediately stopped the entire process at the camp and informed the police," Chakraborty said.
