Trinamool MP Mimi Chakraborty, Who Got Fake Covid Vaccine, Falls Ill

A PTI report said the doctor who attended to Mimi Chakraborty - the Lok Sabha MP from Jadavpur - said it was too early to link her illness to the fake vaccine

Trinamool Congress MP Mimi Chakraborty - who four days ago was reportedly tricked into taking a fake Covid vaccine shot in Kolkata by a man masquerading as an IAS officer - fell seriously ill Saturday morning at her residence in the city, according to a report by news agency PTI. The PTI report added that the doctor who attended to Ms Chakraborty - the Lok Sabha representative from Jadavpur - said it was too early to link her illness to the fake vaccine. Sources close to her family told PTI Ms Chakraborty suffered dehydration and a stomach ache, and that her blood pressure had dipped. She is, however, in stable condition now, they added. The actress-politician was previously diagnosed with gall bladder and liver-related ailments.
